Queensbury woman arrested for grand larceny

QUEENSBURY, N.Y. (NEWS10)-- A Queensbury woman was arrested Monday by the Warren County Sheriff's Office on three charges. Kira Walker, 31, faces a grand larceny charge, amongst others, from an incident that began on August 1, 2023.

The three charges include:

• Grand Larceny in the third degree
• Welfare Fraud in the third degree
• Offering a false instrument for filing in the first degree

According to the Sheriff's Office, investigators at the Warren County Department of Social Services had found that Walker failed to disclose financial information on two Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program (SNAP) benefit forms in August 2023 and February 2024. This resulted in Walker receiving $4,008 in benefits as an overpayment, which she would not have been eligible for otherwise.

Walker was arraigned in Queensbury Town Court. She was then released pending a future appearance in September.
