bullet  She Had Her Ups and Downs

A maintenance worker at a Hilton hotel in Richmond, Va., said he heard screaming coming from an elevator March 26, and went to investigate.

"When the doors opened, a lone female was standing in the elevator completely nude with her purse," the resulting police statement says.

The worker says when he refused to leave, Franchesca D. Edwards pulled out a gun.

Henrico County Police were dispatched to the report of "a nude female on the elevator screaming with gun." One way or another, that sort of call gets a cop's blood pumping. The gun turned out to be a cap gun.

Edwards, 25, was dressed by the time officers arrived. She was arrested without incident and charged with brandishing a weapon and indecent exposure, both misdemeanors.

It wasn't explained why she was screaming, why she was naked, or whether the gun was loaded with caps.

Why is she smiling? Did she think she looks funny with clothes on?

Think she'll enjoy being naked in the showers in prison with other women?

I don't think the other inmates in jail would want to see her naked either. Hey Bandit, Albuquerque you don't happen to know my ex-wife do you? She live in Albuquerque also.
