QUAKERTOWN, Pa.— A Pennsylvania woman is facing insurance fraud charges after authorities say she worked as a stripper while collecting worker's compensation payments. The state Attorney General's office said 43-year-old Christina Gamble, of Quakertown, who has a fab body collected thousands of dollars in insurance payments while working at C.R. Fanny's Gentlemen's Club and Sports Bar. The main sports played there include the house special, "Chugalug" and watching women lose weight live on stage.
According to a complaint, Gamble claimed she fell and hurt her back while working at a restaurant in 2007 and told a doctor it was difficult for her to stand or change positions. Authorities say she decided to take a Gamble, and received more than $22,000 in disability benefits.
When questioned, the woman indicated she discovered she could make more money as a stripper than working as a waitress. She said she just forgot to notify the Workers Compensation Office of her new employment and thought the money was to pay for the drugs she must take for pain: valium, xanax and a morphine drip at night.
Gamble was arraigned Thursday on two counts of insurance fraud and one count of theft by deception and released on her own recognizance. At the close of the hearing she informed the court clerk that she did not own a recognizance or know where to purchase one.
Her court appointed attorney said she would plead innocent by reason of gross stupidity and lurid cupidity, both affirmative defenses under Pennsylvania law.
A phone listing for Gamble could not immediately be located. According to her attorney it is tattooed on the inside of her left thigh, up high, and can he seen for a $2.50 cent charge by Gamble's directory assistance.
There's no boat.
ReplyDeleteIn a poll taken of 200 sober males between the ages of 18 and 85, it was found that 90% of sober, straight males were unable to see a boat in this photograph. The strength and overwhelming opinion of this public cohort persuaded the editors that there is no such boat as the boat in the photograph suggests.
