FORT LAUDERDALE —

A Tamarac woman told a judge she stole someone's identity and spent nearly $20,000 in ill-gotten funds, largely because she needed to replace defective breast implants and furnish her condo.

Shatarka Nuby, 29, offered that explanation to U.S. District Judge William Zloch on Thursday as she pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to use unauthorized devices, or credit cards, and one count of aggravated identity theft. Nuby faces up to seven years in prison when she is sentenced Nov. 16.

"I feel bad for doing this," Nuby said. "I felt if it was someone in my family [victimized by identity theft], I would be upset."

Wearing an olive-green jumpsuit and shackles on her wrists and ankles, Nuby said she needed money to replace breast implants that gave her breathing problems, and to furnish the condo she recently moved into. She said she had been addicted to Ecstasy and suffered from depression.

There ought to be a way of counting in the amount of grief that was suffered by victims... but the “lady” is prolly bankrupt now.

How do implants cause breathing problems, unless they're really huge?

OH...I was afraid she didn’t have a reason. Case dismissed.

Nice wig.

I know, those darn crazy Amish “youts” again. When will this out of control Amish crimewave end?

Maybe if the government took away, I mean started “regulating”, all of those dangerous horse and buggies from them we’d all be safe, sane and saved.

Maybe it differs by state. Michael Jackson was also allowed to keep on his wig. Yet I read of cases where wigs (possibly also makeup) were not allowed.

I have noticed on TV that most black women appear to wear wigs, even young women.

I can’t believe it took 30 posts for a guilty verdict!

She said she had been addicted to Ecstasy and suffered from depression.

I wouldn't have thought that possible.

I once lived in Tamarac. My grandparents moved to Tamarac from the north in the early 1970's. It used to be a retirement town, but the demographics have changed a bit since then.
