DOYLESTOWN, Pa. -- A would-be homebuyer with less than a buck in the bank is going to jail for using bad checks to get a $328,000 home mortgage.

Prosecutors said the 45-year-old Pennsylvania woman had 97 cents in her account when she carried checks worth $63,000 to a settlement table and left with the keys to the new house.

Authorities in Bucks County, Pa., said the checks turned out to be counterfeit and a bank letter to back them was forged.

The woman told the judge she "got nervous" because the house she was renting was sold and she had just 15 days to find a new place to live. Despite an in-court apology, she's been sentenced to two years in jail.

Well now she has a place to live for the next two years! RENT FREE!
