JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. — A woman pleaded guilty to attempting to influence a public official and attempted identity theft after she forged letters and falsified documents purportedly from her employer to her probation officer.

The Denver Post reports that Ann Crall, 34, faked having cancer and was on probation in Jefferson County for a 2011 conviction for charitable fraud when she forged the letters and falsified the documents.

The county’s district attorney’s office said that the crimes were “in an attempt to mislead and influence the probation officer from taking actions against her for her failure to comply with the conditions of her probation.”

Her probation was revoked and Crall was sentenced to eight years in prison.
