Karen Citizen-Wilcox, SAC, United States Department of Agriculture, Office of the Inspector General, stated, “Individuals such as Michael Benton continue to think that the fraud perpetrated by them against Agriculture programs, such as the EBT and WIC program, will go unnoticed and unprosecuted.
“Instead he repeatedly exchanged food vouchers for cash, undermining an important program designed to protect the health of pregnant women and young children.” “As an authorized vendor in the WIC program, this defendant made a commitment to sell nutritional foods to low-income mothers and children,” said United States Attorney Sally Quillian Yates. Benton has been sentenced for theft of public funds for unlawfully purchasing vouchers of the Georgia Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program in exchange for cash.
