Hurricane Couple Pleads Guilty To Fraud
WEST VIRGINIA....
Donna and Randell Fizer of Hurricane, West Virginia entered their guilty pleas Tuesday to fraud allegations without the benefit of any agreement with prosecutors. The Fizers were indicted in August on charges they stole $30,520 from the Department of Veterans Affairs between May 2008 and January 2010. The benefits initially were given to another woman upon the death of her husband, but when the unnamed beneficiary died May 13, 2008, the death was not properly reported to the government, and the Fizers continued to receive the benefits. Sentencing is set for February 7, 2011.
