Steuben County Sheriff Jim Allard announced that deputies arrested Natasha M. Judkins, 37, of Ransome Street, on May 13. Investigators allege that between February and March, Judkins knowingly stole $349.08 worth of services.
She has been charged with petit larceny and misuse of food stamps, both class A misdemeanors. Judkins was released on an appearance ticket and is scheduled to appear in the Village of Bath Court at a later date.
Sheriff Allard credited the Steuben County Department of Social Services Fraud and Legal Affairs Unit and the District Attorney’s Office for their roles in the case.
