Nov. 3–Tracey Cathey McNeill, 50, of Raeford, surrendered Thursday to law enforcement officers on charges of wire and mail fraud, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina.<\/p>\n

The statement says McNeill devised a scheme to defraud the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and obtain disability, retirement and life insurance payments.<\/p>\n

The benefits were for a person who was in McNeill’s care. The alleged fraud occurred between April 2015 and February 2017, according to the news release.<\/p>\n

McNeill received more than $90,000 in benefits from the two agencies, the release said.<\/p>\n
