A federal grand jury has indicted a Junction City couple of fraudulently obtaining disability benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The Department of Justice announced Monday that 47-year-old James Bradford and 45-year-old Equanda Bradford, are each charged with single counts of conspiracy and theft of public money, property or records. James is a U.S. Army veteran. He and his wife are accused of providing false and fraudulent information to the VA about his caregiver needs and her care giving functions.
All told, the pair received over $172,000 in disability compensation they were not entitled to, according to a news release.
