LEBANON, Ohio (WDTN) - A former employee of the Warren County Department of Human Services admits she stole money from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.
Rebecca Butcher-Green pleaded guilty to theft in office and tampering with records Thursday.
She was sentenced to four years in prison and must pay $146,300.00 in restitution.
Her crime was discovered after the Ohio Inspector General discovered discrepancies during an audit conducted last fall.
The investigation disclosed Green stole cash payments made by Medicaid recipients to meet eligibility thresholds and manipulated recipients’ files to make it appear they were eligible for benefits when they were not. Those individuals received benefits they were not entitled to receive.
Butcher-Green was arrested on April 13 and has been in the Warren County Jail since.
