A Dundee resident is facing felony charges in Livingston County.
The investigation into Kerryann Lanning began after the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by the county’s Department of Social Services regarding a possible welfare fraud. It is alleged that Lanning failed to report a change in her employment and household income status. As a result, Lanning collected an overpayment in SNAP benefits she was not entitled to from June 2023 through January 2024.
Lanning was arrested Wednesday on welfare fraud and grand larceny, both felonies, as well as offering a false instrument for filing. Following her arraignment, Lanning was released on an appearance ticket for Mount Morris Town Court.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
