A man who tried to pass a fake £20 note in the Brass Monkey pub in Fareham, Hampshire, was arrested after he fled outside and got stuck to his waist in a mudflat. It took rescuers 15 minutes to free him.
He was later charged with possessing counterfeit money after police found £300 worth of fake notes in his pocket.
Brass Monkey owner Graham Deacon said: “I only wish he had sunk up to his neck.”
