A woman who bragged on Facebook about cashing counterfeit checks around Lincoln won't be going on a spending spree anytime soon.

Lancaster County District Judge Stephanie Stacy on Tuesday sentenced 23-year-old Aloni Jones to six to 12 years in state prison on two felony forgery charges.

In March, Jones cashed at least four counterfeit rapid return income tax checks, each made out for $7,281.20, at Advance Cash, 2600 O St.; Cash Solutions, 3833 S. 48th St.; Red D Cash, 2601 N. 11th St.; and Moore Pawn, 1621 M St., according to an affidavit for her arrest.

The affidavit says Jones posted on Facebook a picture of herself flashing $100 bills along with such comments as: “Racked up stacked up and this anit even tax money that’s how we do it;” and “In Nebraska doin the fool when I get back to the d we go turn ALL the way up.”

She pleaded guilty July 31 to two felony forgery charges in exchange for the Lancaster County attorney's office dropping two more counterfeit charges.

She received credit for 148 days served.

it doesn't look smart enough to do what it's accused of...

Aloni Jones

Now known as "Feloni Jones."

In sixties vernacular - “Stickin’ it to the man, when I get back to (Detroit, Dallas, Denver - insert hometown here), we are really going all the way.

She perceives that she has obtained an upper hand economically from someone more foolish than she is. And she is prepared to achieve more at home.

Never mind the obvious video surveillance, the FB post is ‘over the top’ in the not yet ready for prime time player department.

If 0bama and Ben Bernanke had a daughter...

If Obama had (another) daughter,she’d look like....

If IRS refund checks were involved you'd think that she'd be charged by the Feds.

[Slings and Arrows]

It’d hit back.

“Racked up stacked up and this anit even tax money that’s how we do it;” and “In Nebraska doin the fool when I get back to the d we go turn ALL the way up.”

Interesting command of the language. Sounds like neo-ebonics.

“I’m not sure, but I think that some of it’s English.”

You can’t fix stupid, but you can put it behind bars.

[Lazamataz]

I can tell you this: I would hit any woman with a pulse*.

^* pulse optional

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Jeez.... I was sort of hoping you'd draw the line somewhere...

[Lazamataz]

I *DID*!

Sorta.

"Feloni Jones."

Sounds like a 70's Blaxploitation movie.

Were I not pledged to use my current tagline, that would be my new one.
