BOISE, Idaho (UPI) -- Idaho police arrested a woman accused of posing as a plastic surgeon and performing bogus breast exams on women in bars and nightclubs.
Boise police said Kristina Ross, 37, was arrested Tuesday and charged with practicing medicine without a license after she allegedly gave breast exams to several women at bars at nightclubs while claiming to be a plastic surgeon named Dr. Berlyn Aussieahshowna, the Idaho Statesman, Boise, reported Wednesday.
Police said they were tipped off Nov. 2 by employees of a plastic surgeon who kept getting calls for "Dr. Aussieahshowna" from women who claimed to have scheduled appointments or surgeries.

Police said Ross has never been licensed as a medical doctor.
