Grant writer in Nashua fraud scheme faces federal charge
CONCORD — A Nashua volunteer grant writer arrested in May in connection with an alleged fraud scheme had lived “off the grid” for a dozen years as a fugitive from Rhode Island, according to court documents.
Dana Michelle Lawrence, 43, of 17.5 Jefferson St., was indicted on a federal charge of fraudulent use of a Social Security number.
Lawrence, using the alias “Genevieve Kaplan,” had volunteered for the City of Nashua preparing grant applications when she was arrested on state charges earlier this month.
In a Rhode Island court in 2006, she was sentenced to a year in jail for theft and was ordered to pay restitution to victims. After her release, she was to be on probation for nine years.
