Lancashire George Clooney Involved In Dating Site Perfume Theft
BLACKBURN Magistrates’ Court calls Tracie Barnes, who was on date with the “George Clooney lookalike” she had met on the Bnaughty online dating site when disaster struck.
Having met her own George Clone at the pub, the Beak hears that Tracie Barnes fled from the pub. She left behind her train ticket and her money.
Says Mr Church-Taylor, defending:
“He had posted a photograph on the website but when she met him face-to-face he wasn’t the George Clooney lookalike she was expecting. She made an excuse to go to the toilet and left without saying goodbye.”
No she was in a bind. Should she return and get her cash and ticket? Or should she steal bottle of perfume and try to sell it to fund her fare home?
It’s modern conundrum. And the answer is:
Barnes, 30, of Bromwich Street, Bolton, pleaded guilty to theft from Boots in Blackburn and obstructing a police officer by giving a false name and address. She was fined £140 and ordered to pay £100 costs.
Lancashire’s George Clooney remains single and at large…
