Runaway bride's served time for shoplifting
By Associated Press

ATLANTA- Court records reportedly show that runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks served jail time for shoplifting several years ago.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting Wilbanks faced a felony charge back in 1996 for allegedly shoplifting $1,700 worth of merchandise from a mall. Records show the prosecutor in that case dropped the charge after Wilbanks completed a program of community service and restitution. That prosecutor is now serving as Wilbanks' attorney.
In a separate case, court records show Wilbanks served two weekends in jail after pleading guilty to another shoplifting charge. A judge sentenced her to probation, a $400 fine, and community service.
The 32-year-old woman touched off an extensive search last month when she vanished from her Georgia home days before her wedding. The local district attorney is deciding whether to charge her with making false statements.

I think she's had more than her 15 minutes.

I wish she'd just go away.

I do realize that's wishful thinking.........

I agree with rodeman. Totally. She's obviously not too tightly wrapped, but I fail to see why I should give a tinker's damn.

I give more fault to the TV media which hyped a non-event into a major news story for their own commercial purposes. Who really gives a damn?

116 page view for Crazy Eyes and 16 for Gwen, the brutally murdered transgendered teen.

We have met the enemy and the enemy is us.

Dramatic circumstances influence media coverage. A Bride missing from a Wedding of the Century with thousands of neighbors searching for her...this is news.

Gwen is also news--but the "happy ending" here has to be engineered. Gwen's story isn't a feel-good narrative.

She involved the FBI, made a fake call to 911 when they are needed in REAL situations and lied to the entire world.

What a loon.

She might work a Hollywood career out of those eyes. They remind me of Eve Arden as Our Miss Brooks.

There is something archtypal about a bride fleeing the altar--of course, archtypes don't shoplift....

It would be wrong to lock her up, but she does need therapy. She should be a good wife, stay home and cook, clean, and make babies.
