Evanston Woman Gets Probation in Medicaid Fraud

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A federal judge has sentenced an Evanston woman to serve five months home confinement and two years of probation following her guilty plea to committing health care fraud.

U.S. Attorney Kip Crofts announced that 52-year-old Brenda Murray also must pay more than $56,000 restitution.

Murray pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Nancy Freudenthal this June to defrauding the state Medicaid system by falsely claiming she provided services to children with developmental disabilities.
