You’ve probably dreamed at some point of pulling a Ferris Bueller and faking an illness to cut class, but one teen appears to have taken the idea too far.
A South Carolina teen was arrested on forgery charges for allegedly faking doctor’s notes to skip out on high school.
The Duncan Police Department told WSPA that 17-year-old Madison Cox was arrested Monday. Cox was crowned Miss Spartanburg International before being crowned Miss South Carolina Teen International.
According to Duncan Police, Cox, who goes to Byrnes High School, wrote herself doctor’s notes to excuse herself from the class using a pad from Parris Family Chiropractic located near Spartanburg.
Duncan Police also said Cox didn’t visit the Parris Family Chiropractic on dates that she claimed in her notes. In fact, the office was actually closed on some dates.
The beauty queen went on a Twitter rant about the incident.
