Woman Charged with Failing to Report to Prison

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A woman convicted of being involved in the forgery of a bankruptcy judge's signature has now been charged with failing to report to prison.

The indictment in the forgery case says Helen Page "did knowingly concur in using the forged signature of Edward Ellington," federal bankruptcy judge in southern Mississippi in December 2006.

Court records say she used the forged document in an attempt to convince a clinic where she applied for a job that restrictions had been lifted on her nursing license.

Page was convicted July 19 and was sentenced earlier this year.

The new charge says she failed to report to prison on April 29 to serve her nearly 3-year sentence.
