A federal judge Tuesday order a new investigation after a Mesquite teacher's aide admitted to faking a cancer diagnosis to conceal a criminal case in West Virginia.
Kevin MaBone, 56, pleaded guilty in October to misappropriating $6600 in taxpayer dollars from 2007-2014.
MaBone was hired by Mesquite ISD in August and worked at Wilkinson Middle Schoo as a teacher's aide for students with behavioral issues.
In December he told campus principal Leslie Feinglas he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
The staff and students rallied around him and raised nearly $11,300 in donations via GoFundMe to offset medical expenses and also presented him with a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis on Friday. The vehicle, valued at $5,000, was donated by a local paint and body shop.
MaBone told his coworkers the donations and vehicle would allow him to take a few days off for surgery set for this week.

Kevin. That’s a problem name. It’s like having the middle name of Wayne or Lee.
A guy named “Mabone” claims he has prostate cancer. Nope, not gonna. Too easy.

Straight from the playbook of the race of professional victims. Deflect attention to oneself with a distraction of a claim of racism or a malady.
I used to teach in Mesquite ISD. In fact, the school that I taught at fed into the school in the article. So thankful that I no longer live nor work there anymore.
Got a toupee and a free parking place out of it too.
Lots of good Asian restaurants though.
Perfectly good Irish name. it means handsome at birth, I tell people it’s been downhill ever since.....unfortunately no ones ever contradicted me .....
My employer does them every couple of years (on everyone) because things happen after hiring. Here in NJ our State Police have a database of registered sex offenders (that allow you to check your neighborhood); I’ve advised parents over the years to check it every couple of years, not just once when you first hear about it. Things change...
Seven years and he only took $6600? Not very efficient.
