Woman who faked breast cancer is charged with theft by deception

WACO, Texas * Authorities say a Texas woman lied about having breast cancer and spent $10,000 raised at a benefit on having her breasts enlarged.

McLennan County sheriff’s investigator James Pack says in court records that 24-year-old Trista Joy Lathern shaved her head to look like a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy.

Pack says Lathern wanted breast implants to try and save her seven-month marriage.

The Waco Tribune-Herald reports that Lathern is charged with theft by deception.
