4/7/2004
CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) -- This girl's best friend must've had some serious fiber.
A woman pleaded guilty to swallowing a 1.5 carat diamond ring at a jewelry store in December.
Mary Denise Flowers, 38, will serve one year of probation. The gulp was caught by a surveillance camera.
Flowers, who did not have a previous criminal record, also was ordered Monday to pay fines and court costs totaling $1,090, court records said.
The ring was later recovered in a jailhouse commode, and will be sent to Littman Jewelers' corporate headquarters in Oregon to be melted down.
