Subject: Pageant Queen hits a new LOW

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — A Pennsylvania beauty queen has been jailed on charges she faked having leukemia to benefit from fundraisers, and will be stripped of her title.

Online court records show Brandi Lee Weaver-Gates, 23, of State College, was arraigned Tuesday on charges of theft by deception and receiving stolen property. State police say an April bingo benefit raised $14,000 for the Miss Pennsylvania U.S. International pageant winner. Troopers are asking the public to come forward if they have donated money to Ms. Weaver-Gates.

Butler’s Beauties, the company that sponsors the pageant, says in a Facebook page statement that they were also “led to believe that she was dealing with this horrible disease” and are making her return her crown and sash.

Records don’t list an attorney for Ms. Weaver-Gates, who faces a preliminary hearing Aug. 19.

The power of greed will make a person do the stupidest things.

Dumb bitch. Didn't she know people would do checks? There are plenty of scammers. Have to check to see if she was legit or not.
