A woman from Morrisdale, 38-year-old, Rebecca Dawn Selfridge, pleaded guilty to fraud charges after illegally obtaining over $67,000 in government assistance benefits from 2013 to 2019.
According to GantNews.com, she failed to report her boyfriend, Joshua Michael Richards, who earned about $199,012 during that time.
