Woman posing as Reba McEntire's manager misses court in SoCal

The Associated Press- A woman who had pleaded no contest to grand theft charges for pretending to be an actress and country singer Reba McEntire's tour manager was being sought by authorities after failing to show up Tuesday for sentencing.

Superior Court Judge Randolph Rogers issued a bench warrant for Michelle Egberts-Greene, 38, who convinced nine people to loan her thousands of dollars that she had no intention of returning, prosecutors said.

Egberts-Greene was facing three years probation if she made a "good-faith effort" to pay restitution to the people she cheated, Deputy District Attorney Dave Fleck said previously. Otherwise, he said, she could receive up to four years and four months in state prison.

One victim was a 77-year-old man who paid Egberts-Greene, also known as Mikki Nelson, at least $2,000 after she convinced him she could get him a job working with McEntire's entourage.
