Greenbrier County, WV -

Two Greenbrier County women are out on bond after being arrested for pretending to be victims of the recent flooding.

The Greenbrier County Sheriff's Department says Donna Lynn Allen and Elizabeth Ann Martin, both of Lewisburg, were caught taking supplies, food, and water from various flood relief shelters.

Allen allegedly told officers that she lived in White Sulphur Springs and lost her home in the severe weather. Deputies later found out that both women live in an apartment complex in Lewisburg that was untouched by the flooding.

Scumbags. Probably trying to supplement their welfare and food stamps.

They look like Gibsmedats.

“Gibsmedat” is a behavior and a mentality.

Strange to be old enough to remember when people actually contributed to disaster relief, rather than steal it.

They would have been heroes and role models if they believed they were men instead of flood victims. Strange country.

We had a lot of this happen after Katrina and the gulf oil spill. No one will ever know the true extent of the fraud.

That's right, and I can tell you from personal experience that there is plenty of white trash on that plantation as well...

True. They needed to tell the officers that they identified with victims of flooding. But. Too stupid to be crafty.

Since when is this illegal?

In November, there were floods in South Carolina due to heavy rains. FEMA, or some government agency set up a relief service at a local church in the middle of our small town. I am told they did not even require positive id.

There were literally hundreds of people in line for a week getting free food benefits. However, there were only an HANDFUL of people who were flooded out. At most, the majority who were inconvenienced may have missed one or two days of work due to bridge flooding.
