The guy who plays "Skills" on "One Tree Hill" clearly has none when it comes to being a crook, because he was just popped by police in connection with a Social Security card scam. Antwon Tanner surrendered to federal prosecutors this morning. The U.S. Attorney's office says Tanner "knowingly and intentionally" transferred Social Security cards last year "with intent to defraud." "Tree Hill" paychecks must be affected by the stimulus too. He will be arraigned at Federal Court in Brooklyn Thursday. Antwon pled not guilty at his arraignment, and was released on $250,000 bond.

Damn Skills, why you got to be so stupid? Hopefully you'll be back for season 7!

This is a pretty stupid thing to get caught for, especially when you get regular paychecks on your tv show. Wonder who he was getting those SSN for?

Well actually Antwon Tanner is what I would call a semi-regular, he's not main cast. People get desperate during recessions, even celebrities and I guess he thought he could get away with it.

I thought he was a regular? Shows what I know i haven't followed the show for a couple years after their high school years it just went down the crapper, season 4 is where i choose to except my ending of the show.

That's not desperate it's plain stupid. There is no excuse for that either, recession or not. Hope and pray your SSN never gets stolen.

He should be locked up for a long time for this stunt.

If you can afford $250,000 bond then 'desperate' is that last thing that he is.

True, not to mention just cause is isn't a series regular he still probably gets at least $100k on the episodes he does do, so desperate or not, he still has more money than every person on this board.
