Fraud In Montana

From KPAX in Missoula, Montana:
A Montana State Prison inmate, who illegally received about $14,000 in Social Security benefits, has been sentenced to 16 months in federal prison.

James Hendershot was also ordered to pay restitution of $16,000.

The federal term will be consecutive to his state sentence of five years on a 2004 conviction for aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.

It is unlawful to collect Social Security while in prison.
