Western Pa. woman gets 500 phones, saddles in rodeo fraud ...

PITTSBURGH (AP) ? A western Pennsylvania woman admits she impersonated a rodeo star and set up a sham company to obtain 500 cell phones and $8,000 in saddles.

Authorities say 39-year-old Susan Rowan of Vanderbilt also hoped to meet men by pretending to be world champion barrel racer Sherry Cervi.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Rowan faces a July 2 sentencing after her federal mail fraud plea Wednesday.

Assistant U.S. Attorney James Kitchen says Rowan ordered the cell phones from Sprint Communications, causing the company $430,000 in losses.

And they say she used Cervi's name to meet men and to obtain two custom saddles.

Public defender Linda E.J. Cohn says she disputes the prosecution's loss totals.

Cervi is a two-time world champion racer from Arizona.
