Woman Gets Probation

{Huntington, West Virginia}...Cynthia Gibson, a former employee of All-In-One, a Huntington convenience store, will spend three years on probation for participating in a food stamp scheme. U.S. District Judge Robert C. Chambers also ordered Gibson to pay $19,350 in restitution. Gibson pleaded guilty in July. Prosecutors say she and two co-defendants illegally redeemed about $127,000 worth of food stamp benefits at the store between June 2010 and February 2012. Former store manager Stephanie Pauley received four years on probation in September. The store's former owner, Abe Eloirzazi, is awaiting sentencing.
