DUNKIRK, N.Y. (WIVB) - The Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office has charged a Dunkirk man with welfare fraud for allegedly collecting over $4,500 he was not entitled to.

Samuel Cuyler was arrested Wednesday and charged with third degree welfare fraud, first degree offering a false instrument for filing, and misuse of SNAP/Food Stamps. Deputies say the 24-year-old failed to notify Social Services he was employed.

If you suspect a case of welfare fraud, call the hotline at 1-800-388-5365 or WeTip at 1-800-782-7463.
