A West Valley woman was arrested for welfare fraud Thursday afternoon.
Deputies of the Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Department charged 39-year-old Nicole L. Quinn with felony Grand Larceny, felony Welfare Fraud and seven counts of felony Offering a False Instrument for Filing.
The charges stem from Quinn allegedly concealing and failing to report income on her SNAP case and fraudulently receiving $8,349 in benefits.
The results of the investigation are from a complaint filed back in 2023.
Quinn was taken into custody at the Cattaraugus County Department of Social Services in Olean without incident.
Quinn was released with an appearance ticket and is due in the City of Olean Court at a later date.
