Welfare mom ordered to spend weekends in jail for fraud
Imogene Hammond, 32, of Buffalo, was sentenced by Judge Alois Mazur to 10 months of weekend jail terms and a $1,153 fine after pleading guilty to violating the Social Services Act by concealing income.

Hammond reportedly collected $31,153 from Erie County Social Services while earning wages in 1970 to 1972, using a second Social Security number and a false name to work and receive benefits.
