Florida -- A pretty dang creative inmate in Florida figured out a money-making scheme by allegedly scamming the jail's phone system, making enough money to post bond and get out of jail.
Inmate Larry Stone, in jail since April for property crime charges, noticed something unusual when he went to make a phone call on July 7. He dialed the number he wanted to call, but when the call went unanswered, he noticed that double the amount of money was returned to his account. Stone, 32, allegedly spent the next three hours making 77 incomplete phone calls to local, long-distance and international numbers and raked in over $1,250, according to a report by the Lake County Sheriff's office. Police eventually caught on and Stone wasn't free for long.
