GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - A 33-year-old woman is accused of
stealing her daughter's identity to attend high school and join the
cheerleading squad.
Wendy Brown is charged with felony identity theft after
enrolling in a Wisconsin high school as her daughter.
The criminal complaint says Brown admitted to telling school
officials she was 15 because she wanted to get her high school
diploma and join the cheerleading squad.
She allegedly attended practices, received a cheerleader's
locker and went to a pool party at the coach's house.
The complaint says Brown has a history of identity theft. Her
daughter lives in Nevada with Brown's mother.
There was no attorney listed in Brown's online court records.
Her home number could not be found.
