POTEAU, Okla. — A Poteau woman has been arrested after police say she lied about a boy's cancer diagnosis to solicit donations online for his treatment. 
According to Assistant Police Chief Greg Russell, the Poteau Police Department was contacted by a female resident about her wife, Ariana Noelle Gregg, 46, and the six-year-old boy under Gregg's guardianship. 
The caller stated that Gregg and the boy left Poteau on Tuesday, May 25, to go to Saint Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis for the boy's cancer treatment. 
The caller also stated that she had learned that Gregg and the boy were not at Saint Jude, but that Gregg had made false claims about the boy's cancer, and they were both in Saginaw, Michigan with an online acquaintance of Gregg's.
