Bell-end of the week
Bok has his bell-end of the week feature, so now here’s mine: Jennifer Wilbanks.
This comes from CNN.com:
(CNN) — A Georgia woman, who was found in New Mexico early Saturday and who said she had been abducted, admitted today she had made up the story because she was nervous about her upcoming wedding, police said.
Albuquerque Police Chief Ray Schultz said Jennifer Wilbanks, 32, had told them she had taken a bus to Las Vegas, Nevada, and on Saturday had taken another bus to New Mexico.
Earlier, Wilbanks had told family members and police that she had been abducted by a man and a woman in a van. She was to be married Saturday.
“Agents and detectives learned Miss Wilbanks had become scared and concerned about her pending marriage and decided she needed some time alone,” Schultz said.
Police in New Mexico said she will face no criminal charges, despite her false kidnapping story. When asked what would happen in Georgia, Duluth Police Chief Randy Belcher told reporters: “No criminal charges.”
Spokesman Mike Satterfield read a statement from the family.
“It has been determined that Jennifer has some issues the family was not aware of. We’re looking forward to loving her and talking with her concerning these issues,” Satterfield said. “There have been so many people who helped us through this and we want to thank all of them.”
