Sentencing reset for woman who falsely claimed her son had terminal cancer

WETUMPKA, Alabama -- A Bainbridge woman who pleaded guilty to charges in connection with falsely claiming her son had terminal cancer and accepting money is now set to be sentenced in April.

Stephanie Nicole Jones, 23, was scheduled to be sentenced in Elmore County Circuit Court this morning, but she was unable to attend the hearing, according to court records. Her sentencing was reset for April 4.

The Montgomery Advertiser reported Jones had been in the hospital.

Jones pleaded guilty to one count of theft of property by deception and one count of attempted theft of property by deception on Oct. 15, 2012, according to court documents.

Authorities say that several fundraisers were held in the community in 2010 for Jones' son Brandon in order to pay for his last dying wish to go to Disney World.
