A former Minnesota beauty pageant queen has been convicted for switching the price tags on clothing she bought from Macy's. Jennifer Kline, a former Mrs. Minnesota -- and later, Mrs. America -- was convicted Tuesday of felony theft by swindle for creating an elaborate scheme that included conducting fraudulent returns.

According to court documents cited by the Star Tribune, Kline’s scheme worked like this: She would buy expensive clothing, take it home, then attach the expensive clothing’s price tags onto clothes she already owned. Then, Kline would return her old clothes to a different Macy’s and would get a refund on her credit card.

The former beauty queen eventually fessed up to having a supply of plastic tag holders and the equipment to attach them to clothing, the Tribune reported. Kline’s attorney called it a dumb mistake.

Stories like this always amaze me. As much thought as some criminals put into their deeds, imagine if they'd put the same amount of effort into a legal enterprise.

What a dippy broad. Couldn't she find some old fool to gold dig off of? She must have given some truly rotten head jobs.
