Miss Wisconsin Shaletta Porterfield USA’s dreams of becoming Miss USA shattered as she’s charged with ID theft
What is it with these beauty contestants losing their crown for whatever reasons? It’s like this happens every other month.
Daily Mail reports a woman who could have gone on to win the Miss USA title has been charged with identity theft.
Shaletta Porterfield won the Miss Wisconsin USA competition this year and automatically qualified to take part in the national competition which is being held in Las Vegas next month.
However, her dreams of winning the title have been shattered after she was charged by police in Dane County last month with three counts of misappropriating identity information to obtain more money.
Porterfield, 26, has now been forced to pull out of the competition and has resigned from her current title.
According to police she is alleged to have faked the signatures of three business owners while working at a marketing company.
All three companies became suspicious and called police after they were contacted and asked to proof adverts they had not agreed to buy.
Porterfield's attorney Robert Nagel said she was under extreme pressure to achieve goals and added that 'she has a lot going for her, and she's ready to move on.'
