"Michael Powers, a 48-year-old, convicted felon from Pearl City, was charged Friday with attempted first-degree theft and multiple counts of forgery in the second degree after he allegedly wrote 22 forged checks totaling $715,696.92."

How does a convicted felon steal $715,000?  Oh wait, I know...HE WASN'T IN JAIL LIKE HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DUE TO SOME BLEEDING HEART REHAB PROGRAM.
