hair cream, curtains, a sleeping
gown and a pair of ladies' slippers
valued at $62, deputies were told.

Prayer, on Airport Road was

deputies after it was discovered
that he was a fugitive from the
state of North Carolina, according

Monday under a $300 bond pen

with break-ins in the last year, was
the victim of apparent vandalism

Food stamp fraud
is being pursued
By Ed Miller
Welfare fraud will be charged
against a Lumber Bridge man
following action taken Monday by
the Hoke County Department of
Social Services (DSS) Advisory
Board.
According to DSS staff case
workers, felony charges of fraud
against the food stamp and Aid to
Families with Dependant Children
(AFDC) programs will be brought
if deemed suitable by a Hoke
County district attorney.
State privacy laws require the
man's name not be disclosed until
formal charges are brought, DSS
Director Ken Witherspoon said.
From October 1, 1984 to March
31, 1985, food stamp over is
suances to the family amounted to
S939, staff workers said.
The man was caught through a
"wage match" with the North
Carolina Employment Security
Commission (ESC), according to
Witherspoon.
Under the program, "wages
reported to DSS case workers are
matched with those reported to the
Employment Security Commission
on a quarterly basis.
Wages earned and unreported
may not show up during the first
quarter when a match is run hut
will show up the next time.
"They can lie to me once, but
they'll be caught if they try to do it
again," said Witherspoon.
According to a summary
presented to the DSS Board, most
of the supposed fraudulent infor
mation came from the man's wife
who allegedly lied about wages
earned, her husband's terms Of
employment and who filled out
wage request forms sent the family
by DSS workers.
