VANCOUVER, Wash. -- A woman who splashed a caustic substance on her face and claimed a stranger had attacked her faces three theft charges related to the nearly $28,000 donated to benefit her, a prosecutor says.
The felony second-degree charges filed Monday by Clark County Deputy Prosecutor Tony Golik relate to donations collected for Bethany Storro after she was chemically burned Aug. 30.
Court records indicate Storro said she has spent about $1,500 of the money - on such items as dinners for her parents, clothes for herself, and a bill for an August laser facial peel.
Golik said the accounts containing donated money have since been frozen.
Golik told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that he issued an arrest warrant for Storro.
But he said she was hospitalized as of Monday evening. He didn't know why or where, but he said police knew her location.
The prosecutor said he would leave it up to the lead detective to decide when to arrest the 28-year-old woman, who admitted to police last Thursday that her injuries were self-inflicted.
Storro's parents have said all money raised for her will be returned.
Storro said she was trying to kill herself when she put what is believed to be caustic drain cleaner on her face, according to a police affidavit filed in Clark County Superior Court.
"Then, when I realized it wasn't killing me, I thought maybe this was the answer to all my problems.
To have a completely different face," she said, according to the affidavit filed by Detective Wally Stefan.
