A Pennsylvania welfare supervisor has been accused of stealing more than $20,000 (£15,000) in food assistance benefits and exchanging electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards for crack cocaine, according to prosecutors.
Sheila McDonald, 46, of Pittsburgh, allegedly took 48 benefit cards while working at the Lehigh County Assistance Office in Allentown, where she was responsible for safeguarding the cards and coordinating their distribution.
