A Chula Vista woman who faked a cancer diagnosis to avoid prison time pleaded guilty Friday to a federal obstruction of justice count.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says Ashleigh Lynn Chavez, 37, was set to be sentenced to a likely prison term after pleading guilty to embezzling more than $160,000 from her former employer.
Though she was ultimately sentenced last year to just over a dozen years in federal prison, the forged doctor's notes allowed her to stay out of custody for three more months than originally permitted in order to receive medical treatment. After she was sentenced, Chavez also forged more doctor's letters from two different San Diego-area physicians, according to her plea agreement.
