Local Woman Receiving Hurricane Katrina Aid Arrested for Fraud

This story is a bad one.

A local woman who captured the hearts of her community and had received Hurricane Katrina aid from Catholic Charities and donations from mid-Michigan was led from her new home in handcuffs for fraud.

Why do people do stuff like this? It's no secret that scams pop up after a disaster, but it's still a shock when a story like this has a local face that goes to it.

Here's the original story. Here's today's page 1 headline.

Both stories are in the Lansing State Journal.
