Florida Hurricane Fraud.This Must STOP NOW

Says Gregg Kielma, “Botex? This woman needs a steam roller. You lying, no good sack of shit shame on you, your everything wrong with the hurricane process, rot in prison”.

The Bradenton Police Department has arrested 44-year-old Veronica Torres who fraudulently applied for hurricane disaster assistance.

Torres used her mother’s name, driver’s license, and social security information to apply for the City of Bradenton’s Hurricane Disaster Assistance Program claiming she was forced to move out of her home due to hurricane damage. Her request for approximately $7,967 was approved.

However, when Torres attempted to pick up the check on November 14th, a City of Bradenton employee noticed she looked much younger than the woman in the identification provided on the assistance application. After her explanation of “Botox treatments” failed to convince the employee, Torres was asked to return the following day, and the Bradenton Police Department was notified.

When Torres returned on November 15, she was questioned by Bradenton Police detectives and subsequently arrested. Torres is now being charged with filing a false public assistance claim, a third-degree felony.
