A Madison woman was cited for theft by fraud after she allegedly set up a table at the Willy Street Fair on Saturday to raise money for cancer research but was pocketing the money. Madison police reported that they stopped the efforts of Tina Osuocha, 56, at about 8 p.m. Saturday. Her display featured two large water jugs with donated cash inside. Public Health Madison and Dane County also reported that Osuocha was allegedly raising money for the Wisconsin Well Woman Program, a free cancer screening program. (WISCONSIN STATE JOURNAL, 9/22)
