According to court documents, Velton Taylor Williams, Jr., 31, unlawfully acquired and used SNAP benefits in November 2023. Williams admitted to selling the benefits to others and using them for himself.
SNAP is a federally funded, national benefit program to help qualifying low- and middle-income families buy food, thus reducing hunger.
According to prosecutors, Williams also admitted to using TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) cash benefits intended for low-income families with children under the age of 18.
Williams is scheduled to be sentenced on August 19, 2025, and faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
The United States Department of Agriculture Office of Inspector General is investigating the case.
