Fri, Sep 5, 2008    to del.icio.us




MOUNT PLEASANT (AP) — A Mount Pleasant woman is accused of using state aid to buy candy and have her children sell it under the guise of fundraising for charity.

The Saginaw News reports Joanne Walters, 29, used her state-issued Bridge Card to buy candy. Authorities say she then made her 11-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter sell the candy door-to-door in Gratiot and Isabella counties.

She has a court hearing in Isabella County Sept. 15 on misdemeanor charges of committing fraud under false pretenses, using false names for a charitable solicitation and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The fraud charge carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison.

Walters has no attorney on record or listed number.
