Unfortunately for him, she wasn’t feeling it.
“I ain’t saying what I did was smart, but I don’t think I did anything wrong,” Bohannon said. “I just saved an infant’s life, and maybe helped spread the love of Jesus a little bit.”
You have to give it to the guy. Only a true optimist could find the silver lining in getting carjacked by a hooker and her “friend” at knife point in her hotel room. It gets better:
Bohannon says he picked up Stephanie Rae Starcher, 30, early Tuesday morning to share his Christian testimony. He said he didn’t know she was what police call an admitted prostitute or that he’d end up losing his car to the man in her motel room.
“Early” here probably means 2:00am, not 7:30 am. Of course, I’m speculating.
This is, by far, the best excuse I’ve heard so far for picking up a prostitute and taking her to a motel room. Usually on Cops they give some lame excuse like, “She’s my cousin and I’m taking her to work” or the like. But this guy got super creative. Bonus points for that.
I’m sure the sharing and witnessing were very uplifting.
I’m not sure I would want to share my love of jesus in any other way.
