An Oregonian woman named Carly Torres, 35, must spend 90 days in prison and pay restitution after bilking strangers out of $3,000. According to the police, Torres and her husband, 33-year old Laramie Torres, sent their three children to neighboring towns and asked for donatoin’s to send their oldest daughter to volleyball camp.
Well, it turns out there was no camp. In fact, the family used the ill-gotten cash to go on shopping sprees at their local mall, hit up their local movie theater, and, yes, attend monster truck rallies.
Torres pleaded guilty to theft charges, as did her husband. Mr. Torres, however, will only have to perform 160 hours of community service and two years probation for his role in this scam. Mrs. Torres will also face probation and the same amount of community service.
