St. Albans Woman Sentenced
WEST VIRGINIA....
Sixty-two year old Charlotte Ann Fields of St. Albans was sentenced Thursday to six months home confinement and five years probation for committing federal tax and Social Security fraud. She was also ordered to pay in excess of $51,000 in restitution to the Social Security Administration. In December 1997, Fields began receiving disability benefits, but, around May 1999, she became part owner of and began working at Loved Ones In-Home Care LLC and did not report her employment. Fields failed to file tax returns for the years 1997-2008. When an investigation of illegal activities began in 2005, she hired an accountant to prepare tax returns for the years 2000-2005, but she did not inform the accountant she was receiving Social Security benefits.
