Thanks to a tip via The Ogle Mole Network we’ve learned that Brittane Grant – a Democratic candidate for House District 99 who’s facing incumbent Ajay Pittman in the upcoming primary – once pled guilty to felony charges related to food stamp and welfare fraud.
The guilty plea was filed in 2016, and she received a six-year deferred sentence.
We know this because an Ogle Mole sent us this screenshot from the Oklahoma Department of Corrections website.
I verified its authenticity earlier today.
I don’t know the circumstances regarding Brittane’s case – like what her life situation was at the time or what led her to commit the crime – but even if life isn’t going so great, defrauding the government to get help or assistance is tacky, illegal, and something from your past that voters in District 99 should know about, especially if you somehow get caught!
