Beauty Bandit Back Behind Bars
FT. LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – The so-called Beauty Bandit is back behind bars.
Maria Chrysson, 31, was taken into custody for allegedly violating the terms of her probation. She's being held without bond.
In September 2010, Chrysson entered a no contest plea to charges in Miami-Dade that she bounced checks to pay for creams, facials and Botox injections.
But her legal woes weren't over as she still faced charges of grand theft in Broward County.
According to Fort Lauderdale Police Department, Chrysson went into Shino Bay Cosmetic, Dermatology, & Laser Institute to get a facial cosmetic procedure in February 2010. She allegedly gave an ID that said she was "Laura Owens Cugno," and received procedures that totaled $3,292.20. After the procedure she left the facility to reportedly go to an ATM to get money, but never returned.
She was identified by six staff members of Shino Bay and Lauren Cugno gave a sworn statement that her id was used without her knowledge or consent.
According to court officials, there was a hearing Thursday morning for a first violation of her probation in the Ft. Lauderdale grand theft case. Chyrsson was not at the hearing, however, because she was in a different court facing the charge of violating her probation.
Chrysson's next hearing will be on Monday, Dec. 12th.
