CENTERVILLE, Pa. – A woman from Vestaburg has been indicted in federal court for social security fraud. The two-count indictment announced Friday against 51-year-old Leona Biser comes as she is accused of spending social security funds on herself when they were in fact intended for her sister. According to US Attorney, Scott Brady, Biser is charged with the neglect of her mentally-disabled sister who was allegedly kept in a wooden cage in the living room with dirty accommodations and little to no medical care. Committing social security fraud comes with a maximum of 10 years in prison or a fine of $250,000 – or both.
