A link-sending, Facebook-using FrontBurnervian passes along this story about Newark, TX teen Ralph Hardy. (Newark is just west of Flower Mound.) Hardy and his friends had just won a World of Warcraft tournament. To celebrate, Hardy stole a copy of his dad’s credit card, rented a motel room, and hired a bunch of $1,000-a-night escorts. From the story:
They told the suspicious working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus, and as State law does not allow those with disabilities to be discriminated against they had no right to refuse them.
He and his friend’s didn’t have sex with them, though. They just played Halo. Oh, and Hardy told the cops that his dad shouldn’t mind that he stole the credit card because the father didn’t get the son a birthday present. Genius.
Update: As dallasnewsgirl comments (and the original FrontBurnervian adds waaaay too late) the story, it is fake.
Newark Police say it’s a hoax
If it’s true, that boy has some big cajones.
I can’t see this story getting this kind of play with absolutely NO local coverage…DMN and FWST and AP could not have all missed this.
Also, did you notice there were NO sources named in that linked “news” story? It’s all “polices said…” and “escort girls told…”
I call shennanigans.
Newark just west of Flower Mound?
Well it’s also west of Trophy Club, Roanoke, Texas Motor Speedway, Haslet, Hwy 287…
Just East of Abilene would have been a better description.
I wish it was true.
Now I’m jaded and cynical. Note: beware the information superhighway…some stories may not be from reliable sources. Some may even be pure fiction.
