Ann Valerie Jay, one of eight people indicted by a federal grand jury on disaster fraud charges, will be arraigned 10 a.m. Thursday, June 14, in Springfield, according to U. S. District Court documents.
Jay is charged with one count of disaster fraud and two counts of making false statements to FEMA officials. She allegedly told FEMA that between May 27 and November 4 she lived at 4915 E. 27th Street, when that was not the case.
The maximum penalty for disaster fraud is 30 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, while the maximum penalty for making false statements to FEMA is five years in prison.
