Runaway Bride Pleads Guilty, Gets Probation
Thursday, June 02, 2005

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. — With her once-jilted fiancé at her side, runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks (search) pleaded guilty to a felony count of making a false statement on Thursday, a charge that stems from her concocting a tale of being abducted.

The judge sentenced her to two years of probation, 120 hours of community service, and told her to continue to seek mental health treatment and pay the sheriff's office $2,550. The felony charge carried a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

"I'm truly sorry for my actions and I just want to thank Gwinnett County and the city of Duluth," said a crying Wilbanks to the judge.

Her fiancé John Mason (search), whom she was to have married April 30 in a lavish ceremony, was with her as she arrived at the Gwinnett County courthouse.

8. I bet if she were a minority bride-to-be and had staged a fake

kidnapping, she'd have been spending about 5 years in jail. Of course, the fact that daddy has to money to repay various law enforcement agencies is helpful.

9. Maybe this is good news.

I don't care about the runaway bride, but maybe it's a good sign that Fox is rising to the level of CNN.
