Only in Florida: Jesus Himself Couldn't Get His Clunker Traded

A woman in the picture above came into the Coggin Pontiac dealership in Jacksonville, Fla a few weeks back looking to buy a car. How she tried to pay for the car is what caught the salesman's attention.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says Emma Harrison, 25, wrote the dealership a check for $67,768 for the purchase of a car, with the names Jesus Christ and Emma Christ on the account. The check was handed over to the financial manager for verification.

But when the funds didn't check out, he called police.

Reports show that Harrison would sign the checks as Emma Christ, or even sometimes sign both Jesus Christ and Emma Christ.

Emma told police Harrison was her maiden name, and she was married to Jesus Christ, and Jesus was coming in next week to sign the paperwork for the car. Somebody told me that once when I did they taxes, this Jesus was in jail at the time.

She also said the dealership called the wrong company to verify the funds. Police looked into Harrison's accounts, and found that she had no money in any of her accounts, so she could not purchase the car. (I wonder what kind of Pontiac she was buying? You know Jesus loves him some Pontiacs.)

When asked about work, Harrison told police she does not work, but she has a traveling website that people deposit money into.

She had three active credit cards in the name of Emma Christ.

Harrison was arrested on three fraud-related counts, meanwhile, we're all still waiting on Jesus to show up.
