A North Carolina woman has been arrested on suspicion of lying about having kidney cancer and stealing the fundraising donations intended to pay her “medical bills.”
Hannah Leigh Hume, 21, of High Point, is accused of a felony attempt to obtain property by false pretense. She was arrested when a local recreational center that had arranged a benefit for her became suspicious about the apparent illness.
The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office said that around March 1, the club was approached about putting on a fundraising event for Hume to help pay for her cancer treatment.
