According to investigators, 26 year-old Audrea Gause, filed a false claim and collected nearly half a million dollars from a national Boston Marathon bombing relief fund.
Gause claimed she had suffered a traumatic brain injury during the Boston Marathon bombings and filed a $480,000 claim with The One Fund Boston, an organization that accepts and distributes money for victims.
Gause collected the check, opened a bank account on July 1, 2013 and withdrew $377,500 on July 15, 2013.
She was arrested Friday, and charged with larceny over $250 and felony defrauding a nationally recognized victim relief fund.
