Woman charged in quintuplets scam wanted in Florida
The Associated Press
BEAUFORT, S.C. --A woman police say bilked money and gifts from people by claiming she was expecting quintuplets also is wanted in Florida on a fraud charge.
Erika Nieves-Abrigo, who went by the name Nancy Cantu in Beaufort, was arrested in Gadsden County, Fla., in August, accused of unlawfully collecting welfare benefits worth $2,375 from 1999 to 2000, said Richard Combs, Florida's prosecuting attorney in the case.
Combs said Nieves-Abrigo was ineligible for benefits in Florida because she was simultaneously collecting welfare benefits from Georgia.
In South Carolina, Nieves-Abrigo and Juan Salvador Solis were arrested last month and charged with obtaining goods under false pretenses. They are being held in the Beaufort County Detention Center each on $25,000 bond.
Investigators think the couple fraudulently obtained money and goods worth more than $1,000 through the quintuplets scam. If convicted, they face a maximum of five years in prison.
The two are scheduled to appear in court Friday.
