Rep Payee Steals $6,500

From The State of Columbia, SC:

An Alabama woman has pleaded guilty in federal court to stealing Social Security benefits from a handicapped Lexington man, a U.S. attorney’s office news release said.

Patricia Butler England, 35, was asked by the man to serve as his representative payee and received more than $6,500 in disability benefits meant for him between May and August 2006, the release said.

She used the money to buy illegal drugs for herself and faces up to 10 years in prison when sentenced, the release said.
