INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) -- A woman who faked the birth of sextuplets was arrested Monday in Independence on outstanding warrants.

Forty-six-year-old Sarah Everson and her 35-year-old husband, Kris, were living in the Kansas City suburb of Grain Valley in March 2006 when they concocted the story to tap the generosity of neighbors.

They were sentenced in August 2006 to four years probation and ordered to pay $3,661 in restitution.

But warrants for the couple were issued after they missed restitution payments and several probation violation hearings.

Kris Everson was sentenced last week to three years in prison for violating probation.

Sarah Everson had been scheduled to appear in Jackson County Court as recently as Monday morning but missed the bond forfeiture hearing.
