He's been charged with attempted check fraud, intimidation and resisting law enforcement, the newspaper said.

Police arrested Russell at the Chase Bank branch in Hobart. Police told the Northwest Indiana Times the suspect had several other checks with him, all signed the same way but made out in different amounts. One check was for $100,000.

"I've heard about God giving out eternal life, but this is the first time I've heard of him giving out cash," Hobart Police Detective Jeff White told the newspaper.
