According to Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto, a 34-year-old Las Vegan convicted of Medicaid fraud was sentenced today.

Toni Griffin was sentenced to 60 days in jail and ordered to pay $2,870 in restitution, penalties and costs by District Court Judge Sally Loehrer. In addition, Griffin was ordered to serve three years probation, plus 16 hours of community service per month.

The Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) began the investigation on Griffin in 2007 after the unit discovered that personal care services were not being given to a Medicaid recipient.
