GREEN BAY, Wis. — A Wisconsin woman who enrolled in high school under her daughter's name and tried out for the cheerleading squad has been committed to a mental health facility for three years.

Wendy Brown was found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect to a charge of identity theft. The 34-year-old woman apologized Tuesday in court.

Records show Brown attended one day of classes last August at Ashwaubenon (ash-WAH'-bah-nahn) High School and practiced with the cheerleading squad while posing as her 15-year-old daughter, who was living with a relative out of state.

Investigators learned her true identity after she was reported as truant and found that she had been jailed in a forgery case. Brown told investigators she wanted to relive her high school experience.

Isn't this story about two years old? Unless we've got a copy-cat on our hands.

I don't know. It said Tuesday 1/13/09. Maybe we do have a copy cat on our hands. Funny either way.

Dookie, you should totally do this and try out for the football team. Or the cheerleading team, that'd work too.
