TAMPA, FL -- Two women who wanted cosmetic injections to enhance their bottoms are now recovering in a Town N' Country Hospital with severe infections. 

Deputies say Andrea Lee and Zakiya Teagle thought they were getting injections that were safe and would provide them with the appearance they wanted.  Instead, the person who injected them apparently is on the run and detectives want to find her.

Hillsborough County Sheriff's office says Sharhonda Lindsay of Tampa is wanted for practicing medicine without a license. A warrant for her arrest was issued Monday.

They say Lindsay injected the women's buttocks several times and was paid hundreds of dollars for her efforts.   But after leaving her home, the two were in so much pain and had to go to the hospital for treatment.

On Monday night, one of the two women was in critical condition after her kidneys stopped functioning.

A reward is offered for information leading to Sharhonda Linday's arrest.
