LAKEWOOD, Colo. -- A Highlands Ranch woman married to a Lakewood police officer has been indicted by a Jefferson County grand jury on suspicion of faking cancer and accepting almost $60,000 in donations.
Ann Crall was indicted on six counts of theft, one count of charitable fraud and one count of forgery. The indictment was handed down on Monday, and Crall was arrested on Tuesday.
"We were shocked because we fully believed and had seen her at times when she appeared to be quite ill," said Kathy Walters, who lives down the street from Crall. "We had no reason to doubt, so it was pretty shocking."

Ann Crall
It looks like somebody got 2 ugly sticks and played the drum solo from ‘In a Gada Da Vida’ on her face.
Crall began telling people that she was diagnosed with cancer in fall 2005 and that she was beginning treatment, according to the indictment.
Over the next four years, friends, neighbors, church members and many of her husband’s coworkers in the Lakewood Police Department — as well as officers in other law enforcement agencies — gave her money, time and food to help her family. Neighbors took care of her kids, raised money and even put together a team for Lance Armstrong’s Livestrong cancer fundraising event, said one donor, who wanted to remain anonymous.
Her MySpace page shows friends involved in the Livestrong Challenge wearing “Run, Ride, Walk, and Crall” T-shirts.
Court records show that many friends and coworkers made regular bimonthly donations, which were deposited directly into the family’s bank account.
However, there is no evidence she ever had cancer, the grand jury determined.
“I am in disbelief,” said Lynne Bowers. “At first, I was really sad and stunned and now I am starting to get angry because my mom has had cancer. (My mom) is on her third different kind; so lying about having cancer, that is not OK.”
According to the indictment, between January 2006 and December 2008 there were many fundraising efforts on the family’s behalf, with proceeds deposited directly into the Cralls’ bank account. More than 1,000 donations were made to assist the Crall family during this time.

There is a special place in hell for her.
Karma is a real bitch, remember that when you actually get diagnosed with cancer.
The husband had to know about her scam.
How could her husband not have known?
LOL! She “ain’t too bright either.” Your hubby is a cop and you pull a cancer scam. Disgusting.
Oh, I'm sure he had NO idea. /s
That is a good question especially going on for that many years.
