 Another Stupid Criminal | | By: TheAdvisor | Published: 02/15/1999 | | |  |
|
ORLANDO, Fla.
- Vernon Smith was set to appear as the
bad guy on an episode of the Ricki Lake Show titled, ``Today I
Demand to Know Why You Dumped Me.'' Imagine his surprise to
learn his ex-girlfriend was the real villain. He claimed Carla
Nini Hooper had vandalized his apartment and car thinking he was
seeing another woman. However, because he lacked evidence, and
she denied the charges, police dropped the case. But the bright
lights of show biz and stardom brought forth the real criminal.
Hooper described with great delight how she slashed Smith's
waterbed and smashed his mirrors, then smashed his car's
headlights and poured sugar into his gas tank -- providing
Smith, and the police, with a de facto videotaped confession.
``She's out there just confessing left and right,'' Deputy
Robert Larson of the Orange County Sheriff's Department
said. Police used a tape of the show as grounds to arrest
Hooper and charge her with felony criminal mischief. If guilty,
she could be sentenced to up to five years in prison. ``This is
highly unusual. For someone to go on national TV and confess to
a crime here, it is not of the norm,'' he said.
