And finally… wait three turns

A 35-year-old man has tried and failed to get out of jail using a famous Monopoly card.

The suspect, who was held on drug charges, presented cops with a ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card - but it did not have the stated effect.

Instead, the Dakota County, Minnesota sheriff’s office shared the story on Facebook, where they dryly commented: “A for effort!”

The man’s bail has been set at $5,000 - and the courts are unlikely to accept payment in Monopoly money.
