Woman Busted Posing As A Man

A Shelby County, Tennessee jailer may be facing disciplinary action after not strip searching an inmate.

Police arrested Antonio Silliano for identity theft, and booked him in to the county jail with men, but he is really a she.

Silliano, makes a living scamming people, even tricking women into marrying who they believed was a man.

Silliano's victims are not surprised that the jailer couldn't tell Silliano wasn't a man. They're not surprised because Silliano even fooled women into marriage not knowing he was really a woman.

When Silliano's ex-wife found out that he was actually a female, the couple had already married. She says Silliano threatened her against leaving so they stayed together 4 years.

Sheriff's spokesperson Steve Shular says an investigation is underway.
According to Shular, "It's certainly one of those reminders that anytime you have somebody that comes in, even if they look like a man, and the document says they're a man, then you need to make sure they're a man."
