Runaway bride to pay Georgia city $13,000

Wow, the City of Duluth is lucky the woman lied about being abducted. If she had just told the truth once she called, they would be out of luck with these costs. I guess all that fuss about prosecuting her was just to extort money from her. The worst part about it is, if they hadn't overreacted in the first place, she probably wouldn't have ever lied about it.

On a related note, it's nice to see that this story is still getting more coverage than a story about how our President lied to get us into a war. Nice job, media. With Deep Throat in the news so much, you would think that some reporter somewhere would be itching to be the next Woodward and Bernstein, but apparently they're all more concerned about making their jobs easy, then about actually finding out any real news.
