MENOMINEE -- A Menominee man charged with three counts of food stamp fraud has been sentenced in Menominee County District Court.
Thirty-three-year-old Louis Wayne Cuff was sentenced to 45 days in the Menominee County Jail, with credit for one day served. He also received six months probation.
Cuff bought food, such as steak and lobster, with his girlfriend's bridge card and then sold the food for half the price.
"He wants to be eligible to go out on the work van. That's all that my client wants is the opportunity to be gainfully employed once again. At the present time, he is unemployed," stated Cuff's attorney.
Judge Barstow did give Cuff the right to work on the work van. The judge also said the case would not have attracted such publicity if it weren't for the items that Cuff had purchased.
