Wilkes County Sheriff Dane Mastin said in a flyer to area medical centers that 33 year old Paula Pigg had been faning a pregnancy and called the Forsyth County Medical Center, threatening to take an infant. He said each time she went for a doctor's appointment, she left before an image of her baby could be taken. Mastin said Pigg was in custody on charges of attempting to defraud welfare services by faking a pregnancy. When his deputies got a seach warrant and went to her home, he said they found items associated with a fake pregnancy, including a fake belly. The sheriff said based on what was found, Pigg could have carried out the threat.
