The investigation found that Rosario illegally obtained over $3,000 in SNAP benefits between June and Sept 2016 by allegedly concealing the fact that she had other outside income, said Watterson.

Rosario was charged with welfare fraud.

After being processed Rosario was arraigned at the City of Poughkeepsie Court and released to reappear in court on July 5.
