A couple of steaks shoplifted at a Gardendale Walmart three months ago led to the biggest food stamp fraud investigation in Jefferson County's history, and launched 11 simultaneous raids this morning at convenience stores countywide.
Led by the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office, teams of law enforcement officers met at 5 a.m. for a briefing and then fanned out across the county beginning at 6:50 a.m. The officers and agents were armed with 242 arrest warrants and plans to arrest 17 suspects.
All 17 suspects were in custody by mid-morning, and investigators already today have filed for forfeiture and condemnation of those 11 stores, which totals more than $1 million in assets.

If it’s going on there....it’s everywhere.
I’ll guarantee that it’s going on in little Mogadishu in MPLS.
EBT Cards = Votes
They should send all of these camel jockies to Gitmo, except Soetoro will release them next week.
No wonder he's trying to get more people on food stamps -- he's funding his buddies in the Brotherhood.
Ping
Why 242 arrest warrants if they only plan to arrest 17 suspects? Do they issue a separate warrant for each charge?
“... but when they told Walmart the nature of their probe, they learned the conglomerate was already investigating those two convenience stores for EBT fraud. “
Dang, I think they should hire Walmart to give them all their leads.

Sounds like a buncha Cracker RedNecks......
Yeah, I don’t think any of them are Amish.
I know from personal experience that EBT fraud is rampant. The waste and abuse is very disheartening. And we’re paying for it.
Yep...and we’re paying for it.
I keep wondering when the taxpayers/makers are gonna say enough is enough.
Why isn’t welfare reform even a campaign issue, at the very least?
Why do I even pay taxes?
Oh yeah... People depend on me for the drugs, strippers, and liquor. And apparently funding terrorists.
Those arrested in today's raids are: Jowher Almnasoob, Abdulrahman Alqublani, Ismail Hassan Elnaham, Saleh Yahya Rowaid, Ramzi Jowher Ali Almansoob, Mujahed Jowher Ali Almansoob, Bashir Abosaleh Mohamed, Fouad Zamzami, Muneer Zindani, Sufyan Saleh, Mansoor Almansoob, Audrey Morris, Jerry Brown, Keith Lee Lucas, Travis Wayne Holmes, Murad Nooruddin and Mable Olympia Kirksey.
WASP's, apparently.

Forty-six-year-old Khaffak Sahib Ansari, of Arden Hills, received his sentence Tuesday. Judge Paul A. Magnuson sentenced Ansari on one count of food stamp fraud, the department said.
Ansari pleaded guilty in September as part of a plea deal.
Yabba dabba do.
Walmart, or any other retailer, makes the same profit off criminals using EBT as they do off legitimate users.
So owners, investors, managers and employees of retailers have no problem.
As much money ends up in the local economy either way.
The ONLY harm fraud does is finance criminality. Which doesn’t seem to be persuasive to voters. Too nebulous a concept I guess.
Heck, there’s a better rationale for legalizing EBT fraud than for legalizing pot!
Nah.......Amish....
“people depend on me for the drugs, strippers, and liquor. And apparently funding terrorists.”
You forgot casinos and trips to Hawaii.
