NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: “One-Night Stand” With Jerry Springer Leads To Three-Night Stint In Jail
Richard Peterson, 30, got three days in jail for violating his probation by traveling outside the state without permission to appear on “The Jerry Springer Show” and tell his girlfriend – about “the greatest one-night stand” he’d ever had, reports the Gaston Gazette (Gastonia, NC):
Peterson revealed the truth of his one-night stand to his girlfriend on the show.
A video clip on Springer’s Web site shows Peterson running around the stage dodging swings from his girlfriend.
While the couple fought, a stripper started twirling around a pole and flashed her censored breasts to the audience. When Peterson’s girlfriend learned that the stripper was the “other woman,” the women followed Springer Show etiquette and engaged in a fistfight.
Peterson admitted his cameo on the show during court. The 30-hour all-expenses-paid trip for Peterson and his girlfriend was hardly worth it, he told the judge. …
“They really suckered us into the whole deal, and I feel like an idiot for going,” said Peterson. “They made me look like an idiot.” …
Peterson said the production paid him $150, which he split with his girlfriend.
In addition to the not-so-great three-night stint in jail, District Court Judge Anna Foster fined Peterson $161.
