LENOX, N.Y. — Edward M. Nelson, II, a 25-year-old New Woodstock man, has been charged with welfare fraud in the 4th degree and grand larceny in the 4th degree — both felonies.
Madison County Sheriff’s Office investigators arrested Nelson on Dec. 5.
Nelson is accused of collecting public assistance from the Madison County Department of Social Services, which required him to report all household income, according to a news release from the Madison County government. The sheriff’s office alleges that between June 1 and Sept. 30 of this year, Nelson failed to report income to social services and as a result received $2,016 in public assistance for which he was not eligible.
