Man gets disorderly conduct charge for writing vulgar message on check

Police dropped a disorderly conduct charge against a 45-year-old man who wrote a "vulgar message" (with the word "fuck") on a check he used to pay a $5 parking ticket.

Doylestown police Chief James Donnelly said the man was arrested because clerks who saw the shocking message on the mmo line were offended by the message.

"He was contrite enough to offer an apology, and I think that satisfies the people who were insulted by it," he said.
