Guilty Plea In Warwick Fraud Scheme

A Rhode Island man is pleading guilty to defrauding coronavirus relief unemployment programs.

The Justice Department says the Warwick Police Department found 29-year-old Courtney Hilaire sleeping inside a stolen car last July.

Police reportedly found items including dozens of counterfeit credit cards and fraudulent drivers' licenses as well as other stolen IDs.

Federal prosecutors say Hilaire admitted to using stolen information to apply for federal pandemic relief funds from Rhode Island and seven other states.
