Happy Birthday Son

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A couple pleaded guilty Thursday to hiring a stripper for their son's 16th birthday party. Landon and Anette Pharris were sentenced to two years probation and ordered to take parenting classes. They were charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

The parents hired the stripper to perform at a September party attended by about a dozen young people.

Cassandra Joyce Park, 29, who police say used the stage name "Sassy," danced for a few hours before partygoers took up a collection and paid her $150 more to fully disrobe, Anette Pharris said.

The stripper and the man she was with were also granted probation.

Police were tipped off to the party by a photo developer at a drug store who saw pictures of the occasion.

Pharris had said after being arrested that she tried to do something special for her son.

"We even had grandpa there," she said.
