Moore Woman Charged with Stealing From Tax Payers

Moore, OK - A woman is in big trouble after she allegedly falsified documents to obtain benefits from the Department of Human Services.

Nothing should frustrate good honest working citizens more than when others, too lazy to work, try to take advantage of the system and defraud tax payers.

Meet Cindy Ann Gleason, 27, of Moore.

Gleason is accused of willfully defrauding the state when she filed for and was granted assistance based on false statements made by her.

The state claims that Gleason claimed she was a single mother with a limited income in need of medical and food assistance.

The state claims they provided Gleason with almost $3,000 in medical assistance and over $5,000 in food stamps.

The state asserts in court papers that at the time Gleason was receiving benefits provided by tax payers, the father of her child was residing with her and was gainfully employed and able to provide financially for the family.

Felony charges were filed last week for obtaining food stamps by false representation and obtaining public assistance by false representation.

A warrant has been issued for Gleason's arrest. No bond amount has been assigned.
