Forgery

In 2009, Finn Tugwell was given a suspended 40 day prison sentence for document forgery.[9] He had been driving around with a parking card for the disabled in his window that he wasn't eligible for. While in court, Finn explained that he had picked up the sign and put it in his window temporarily because he wanted to find some place to hand it in.
