A Franklinville resident was charged with multiple felonies after a fraud case in Olean on Wednesday.
Deputies of the Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office charged Lesa A. Smith with felony grand larceny, felony welfare fraud and felony offering a false instrument for filing.
The charges stem from the investigation into a complaint made in June, 2023 by the Cattaraugus County Department of Social Services that Smith had allegedly fraudulently received over $1,600 in SNAP benefits.
Smith was released with an appearance ticket.
