Man Allegedly Misused Food Stamps

The latest person arrested in Cattaraugus County’s continuing crackdown on welfare fraud is also charged with criminal trespass and criminal possession of stolen property.

52-year-old Roger Canute of Olean is accused of taking a food stamp benefit card that was issued to someone else, and then spending and selling more than $2,300 worth of food stamps. Sheriff’s deputies say the incidents happened from March 15 to April 2.

Canute is free on his own recognizance.
