BOSTON, May 20 (UPI) -- A woman who faked head injuries to get almost $500,000 from a fund for Boston Marathon bombing victims was sentenced Tuesday to up to three years.
Investigators said Audrea Gause of Troy, N.Y., submitted forged medical records to the One Fund as proof that she had suffered a brain injury and received $480,000 in compensation. She used the money to pay a contractor for a new house and to pay off her car loan.
