A Central Florida man and woman are facing charges connected to a Florida Medicaid fraud scheme.
McKinnie was arrested by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office while Morrison was apprehended by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
“Medicaid fraud is a clear example of theft from taxpayers,” Uthmeier said in a news release.
The charges against McKinnie include Medicaid provider fraud exceeding $50,000 and one count of organized scheme to defraud, both first-degree felonies.
Morrison, meanwhile, has been charged with Medicaid provider fraud of less than $10,000 and organized scheme to defraud.
