DESPERATE
HOUSEWIFE FAKES CANCER TO GET BOOB JOB
The Waco Tribune-Herald reports that a Texas
woman is being accused of lying about having breast cancer,
allowing her friends to raise $10,000 at a benefit for her, then
using the ill-gotten funds to have her breasts enlarged.
According to McLennan County sheriff’s
investigator James Pack, Trista Joy Lathern, 24, wanted breast
implants to try to save her seven-month marriage.
Pack also said in court records that Lathern
shaved her head to look like a cancer patient undergoing
chemotherapy.
Her husband, William Lathern, has since filed for
an annulment of the marriage. She has been charged with theft by
deception, and also re-arrested on a two-year-old warrant for
theft by check.
