Times are tough, so tough that one man from the area apparently lied to get food stamps.
Scott Grady of Streator was indicted this week for state benefits fraud. Prosecutors say he didn’t report employment income and unemployment insurance benefits received by family members on his food stamp application. Grady is accused of using over 300 dollars worth of illegal food stamps from September 2008 thru July 2009.
He’s due in La Salle County Court next Thursday.
