ATLANTA - Court records reportedly show that runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks served jail time for shoplifting several years ago.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Wilbanks faced a felony charge in 1996 for allegedly shoplifting $1,700 dollars 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.
