A 33-year old Wisconsin woman wanted to earn her high school diploma and join the cheerleading squad while she was at it, so she used the identity of her own daughter, and got away with it, for a while.

Wendy Brown enrolled in a high school saying she was 15-years-old. According to reports, Brown attended cheerleading practices, had her own locker, and went to a party at the coach's house.

She was finally caught after the check she wrote for $134.50 to pay her cheerleading uniform bounced causing people to look at her a little more closely and ask questions.

Brown's daughter lives with her grandmother in Nevada.

Brown has a history of identity theft crimes and faces up to six years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
