A Town of Ontario woman was charged after Wayne County authorities said she allowed other people to use her Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program EBT card for $826 in unauthorized food purchases.
The Wayne County Sheriff's Office said Rebecca Lawn, 38, was charged with misuse of food stamps and petit larceny.
The charges stem from a joint investigation by the Wayne County Department of Social Services and the Sheriff's Office into alleged welfare fraud in the Town of Lyons, according to the release.
Lawn was processed at the Wayne County Jail and released on an appearance ticket for Lyons Town Court on Sept. 15, 2026, deputies said.
