Don't run in these if you're faking an ankle injury.

Lest anyone thinks I’m making up some of the crazier frauds in the Southern Fraud series, check out this little news story about a woman who was busted for worker’s comp fraud. She had been receiving benefits after claiming an ankle injury that prevented her from being able to walk without crutches, and then she was caught on tape running in high heels–something I can barely do with two good ankles–in a public park, where she subsequently performed oral sex on “a boyfriend.”

After pleading no contest to the fraud, she got nine months in jail and must pay $79,000 in restitution.

Now that’s a freaky fraudster Julia and Vincent might encounter!
