Melbourne, Nov 16 A woman from Texas lied about having breast cancer and then used the 10,000 dollars raised at a benefit to get breast implants, according to U.S. authorities.

McLennan County sheriff's investigator James Pack said in court records that not only did Trista Joy Lathern lie about using the money for chemotherapy, but she also shaved her head in order to look like a cancer patient, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Pack says the 24-year-old woman lied about her condition, taking the charity money and spending it on the surgery, in order to save her seven-month marriage. (ANI)
