I have heard about women doing a lot weird stuff to get money for breast implants, but this one tops the list.

24-year-old Trista Joy Lathern claimed that she had breast cancer and no health coverage to pay for the treatment. In August she held a all-day benefit organized to raise funds at Waco’s Hog Creek Icehouse Saloon where move than 100 people showed up. She collected around $10,000, but rather than getting cured for cancer, she showed up with new $6,800 breasts.

Trista had duped the whole town in thinking that they were paying for the cancer treatment but instead, they were paying were her new breasts and more. Needless to add, she never had cancer.

Investigators say her plot began to unravel when she went to a local plastic surgeon, asking to have her breasts enhanced. The surgeon, who knew of the benefit, was suspicious because she never mentioned cancer. He passed the information on to his attorney, who contacted the local sheriff.

In the meantime, investigators say, Lathern went to another plastic surgeon in Austin and underwent the breast augmentation.

The affidavit filed by investigators that led to her arrest said, “Trista said she and her husband had been [having] marital problems and she thought by telling him she had cancer [it] would bring them closer together ... Trista said after the fundraiser she tried to bring attention to herself by having a breast augmentation performed hoping it would help mend her marriage.”

She is reported to have even lied to her husband. She even went ahead and shaved off her head to make  the cancer look real.

Trista Lathern was arrested on Nov. 4. That same day, her husband filed for an annulment of their seven-month-old marriage. He also asked for custody of the couple’s two sons, ages 5 and 3. Two days after Lathern was booked and released on bond, she was arrested again when police discovered an outstanding warrant against her for forging a check in 2007.

Shame on you Trista!
