Lying injured worker gets busted

DOYLESTOWN, Pennsylvania — A woman is accused of illegally accepting workers' compensation payments while working as a stripper.
Forty-three-year-old Christina Gamble waived a preliminary hearing scheduled for Tuesday and will face trial next month.
Prosecutors say the woman claimed she hurt her back at her waitressing job and couldn't work. A judge granted her $360 per week in benefits in October 2008.
But private investigators working for the restaurant's insurance company say they taped her dancing at C.R. Fanny's Gentlemen's Club and Sports Bar later that year.
Gamble is charged with two counts of workers' compensation fraud and one count of theft. Her phone number is unlisted.
