[Delete] | Mom stiffs stripper for poor performance
By Associated Press, 8/27/2003
WHEELING, Ill. -- Call it a case of mom gone wild.
A 52-year-old woman has pleaded guilty to assaulting a male stripper after she refused to pay him for what she says was a paltry performance at her daughter's bachelorette party.
Jacqueline A. McMahon was sentenced to 30 days of court supervision and ordered to pay $2,500 restitution to the stripper in a plea deal reached Monday. Prosecutors also agreed to drop battery charges against McMahon's daughter, Carrie L. McMahon, 22, and a bridesmaid.
"What was most important to (the victim) was the restitution," said Assistant State's Attorney Elizabeth Vonau.
The 28-year-old man suffered head injuries, bruises and scratches when he was punched, kicked and hit over the head with a bottle after his performance July 13, 2002, at a Holiday Inn hotel in Crystal Lake.
Police say the partygoers became angered when the stripper showed up late and turned out to be a stand-in for the dancer requested by the hosts. Tensions swelled when the man allegedly cut his show short and without doting enough on the bride.
The scuffle broke out when the stripper tried to collect his fee and McMahon refused to pay, police said.
