The Australian women who tried and failed miserably to pull a Rahaf this week after being detained by immigration police for overstaying her visa by 111 days will be heading home tonight with her tail between her legs after scraping together the money to pay her fine and buy a new plane ticket.

The Daily Mail took up the story of Claire Johnson on Tuesday with more drama than a Holywood blockbuster in an article paper thin on facts and details, opting instead for sensationalism and speculation mixed with a few quotes from friends hoping to cause a social media uproar similar to that of the Saudi escapee Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun.

Any of hope of that was dashed as it soon came to light Johnson had overstayed her visa by a whopping 111 days with no money to pay her fine and flight out the country after missing the plane she was originally booked to leave on.

The foolish out there were aghast nothing was being done to help the poor woman in her hour of need believing all they were being told by the Daily Mail.

Immigration chief, Pol. Maj. Gen. Surachate Hakparn, had the case dropped on his desk and was soon pushing it towards the B.1.N. file when a couple of calls to his team revealed the truth.

Johnson was full of it and trying to make a mountain out of a molehill with the help of an Aussie friend in the PR business when she had broken the law and was being held like any other foreigner on overstay without funds to pay fines and flights would be.

She has now paid her fine and purchased a plane ticket back to Australia and will leave the Kingdom on Thursday at 8pm local time with a blacklisted stamp in her passport.
