Former Food Stamp Fraud Investigator to Plead Guilty to Extortion

A former food stamp fraud investigator in Mississippi struck a plea deal with prosecutors Wednesday, agreeing to plead guilty to extortion charges for a lesser sentence.

Frank Saddler, the former director of special investigations for the Mississippi Department of Human Services, filed a notice in federal court Wednesday letting the court know of his intent to plead guilty to the charges.

Authorities charged Saddler in October with extortion for bilking money from convenience store owners who committed food stamp fraud between 2012 and 2014.

Nothing unusual about this. I used to collect money and repossess cars for GMAC. If there was a decent looking girl who was willing to "help me out" I made sure her car never got repossessed. Happens all the time.

Another factor to consider: it's Mississippi.
