The Price of Idiocy

I think we agreed that anyone has the right to flee a wedding for any reason. I'm not sure we agreed that someon shouldn't be held accountable for false reports and monumental wastes of time and resources.

Well Crazy-eyes Wilbanks just got popped for her idiocy.
The felony charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, and the misdemeanor up to a year in jail if she is convicted. She could also face up to $11,000 in fines and be ordered to reimburse authorities for the cost of the search.
Ouch. I don't think she'll do any time but it'll be interesting what the total fine is and if her family will fight it or pay it.

While Georgia authorities looked for her, Wilbanks took a bus to Las Vegas and then Albuquerque, N.M. There, she called authorities with a story about having been abducted and sexually assaulted.

But under questioning, she recanted and said she fled Georgia because of unspecified personal issues.
Unspecified personal issues... boy howdy.
