"Beauty Bandit" may turn herself in to Broward County authorities Friday - Orlando Sentinel Posted: 13 Aug 2010 09:38 AM PDT FORT LAUDERDALE — Maria Chrysson turned herself in Friday to Fort Lauderdale police who accused her of stealing costly cosmetic dermatology services, including Botox injections, from a physician.Nicknamed the Beauty Bandit in media reports, Chrysson, 29, of Miami Beach, was charged with grand theft and criminal use of personal identification that belongs to someone else, Fort Lauderdale police spokesman Sgt. Frank Sousa said. She is fighting similar charges in Miami-Dade County. Las Olas Boulevard dermatologist Dr. Shino Bay Aguilera alleges that during a 150-minute session on July 23, a woman visited his cosmetic dermatology center and received Botox injections and cheek and lip fillers worth $3,300. He said the patient then told his staff she would get cash to pay for his services from a nearby ATM. Though she left behind a purse, Aguilera said, the woman did not return with payment. The doctor alleges that Chrysson is the woman, and that she appears on his security video. Chrysson's lawyer says Aguilera has the wrong patient. "Our position is that yes, she did not do that," Lurvey said. "She says she's not on the video. She denies having any treatments in Broward County." Aguilera did not return an e-mail and phone message seeking comment. Sousa said police prepared photo lineups for Aguilera's staffers and that they positively identified Chrysson. Arriving at Fort Lauderdale police headquarters at 2:30 p.m. with her lawyer, Chrysson looked sleek in a scoop-neck tunic, black leggings and sandals that showed off sparkly green toe polish. As she waited in the lobby for an officer to arrest her and take fingerprints and a mug shot, Chrysson said she wasn't scared to go to jail. Asked why an attractive woman younger than 30 would need Botox, Chrysson said, "It's all accusations." Why surrender, if this may be a case of mistaken identity? On Friday morning, Lurvey said about his client, "Once a police department or law enforcement agency makes a decision to arrest you, you can voluntarily surrender or wait until they come get you. Those are the two choices and she decided to come in and surrender." Chrysson was to spend part of Friday night at the Broward County Jail before her release on bond. Then she was scheduled to return to house arrest, Lurvey said. Chrysson had to have an ankle monitor removed to travel to Fort Lauderdale, the lawyer said. She was arrested for two cases involving physicians, one in Miami and another in Miami Beach, and faces felony charges that include grand theft and writing a bad check. Those two trials are scheduled for this fall. Lurvey said his client has tried to make amends with the doctors in Miami-Dade County. "She paid complete restitution in both of those cases, totaling $5,500," Lurvey said. He added that Chrysson's family is helping with those payments. Police are asking anyone with additional information about this case to contact Detective Donald Gauntner at 954-828-5527 or Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
