Get the snark ready folks

"To Catch a Predator" host Chris Hansen was arrested Monday after he allegedly wrote bad checks to a vendor he owed money to, according to police.

Hansen turned himself into the Stamford Police Department in Connecticut after a warrant was issued for his arrest on a felony charge of issuing a bad check, Stamford Sgt. Sean Scanlan said.

In summer 2017, Hansen bought about $13,000 worth of promotional items, like hats, shirts and mugs from a local company, and paid for them with a check that bounced, Scanlan told NBC News.

"The owner and Hansen go back and forth for a period of time," and in April of 2018, Hansen gave the business owner another check, Scanlan said. That one bounced, too.

Did the vendor at least offer him some iced tea?

With all of the "me too" creeps being outed, I'm just glad this wasn't another story about a celebrity committing a sexual offense against another person.

At first I thought it was one of the Hansen brothers, but then realized who it was.  I've always liked Chris Hanson.

Promotional items?  What would he be trying to promote?

The TV show?

Is it still on?  If so, I'd expect the producers to be paying for promotion of it - with checks that don't bounce.

Neat. This can be the basis for a reboot of To Catch a Thief.

Oh Chris, Chris.

I thought you were better than this.
