Runaway Bride Mows Lawn of Government Building to Work off Community Service


LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. (AP) - Runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks mowed the lawn of a government building Tuesday as part of her court-ordered community service for lying to police after she ran off days before her scheduled wedding.
Wearing an orange community service vest, a ballcap that said "Life is good" and running shoes, Wilbanks seemed upbeat as she pushed a powered mower by a swarm of reporters and photographers. She briefly spoke when the mower's engine died in tall, wet grass.

"I'm doing well," said Wilbanks, who has been undergoing mental health treatment. She admitted with a laugh that it had been a long time since she had mowed a lawn.

"I need to get back to work. I don't want to get into trouble," she added.

Her lawn mower then kept dying in the grass, each time prompting her to repeatedly yank on the pull string to restart it. After the eighth time it quit, she let out a big sigh.

1. Since NBC gave so much time to this stupid story, and even did
an hour long SPECIAL about this nutty woman, we should all bombard NBC, who has apparently decided not to cover the Cindy Sheehan story, with emails reminding them of how much time they gave a truly worthless story, but will not cover a story that means so much to everyone in the US. I'm off to do that now. Everybody JUST DO IT.
