Wisconsin Senior Medicare Patrol

A Wisconsin prisoner tried to bilk the government out of hundreds in tax credits while she lived in prison.

Wendy Nelson is one of four inmates at Taycheedah Correctional Institution charged with tax fraud. Prosecutors say she claimed she lived in an apartment so she could get tax credits, when in fact she lived in the prison.

Her conviction extended her prison sentence another six years. Another prisoner was found guilty on charges and two others have pleaded not guilty.
