OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha woman has been given five years of probation for her involvement in a fraudulent housing scheme involving an AIDS support group.

U.S. Attorney Deborah R. Gilg announced Tuesday that 35-year-old Tamika Payne, of Omaha, also must pay restitution of more than $141,000.

Gilg’s office says in a news release that Payne helped her friend and co-conspirator Jason Armstrong prepare fraudulent applications for federal housing assistance funding. Armstrong was a case manager for the Nebraska Aids Project, a group that provides services to people living with HIV and AIDS.

Gilg’s office says Payne and Armstrong split the money from the fraudulent benefits. Both were convicted of conspiracy to commit mail fraud. Armstrong was given two years in prison and ordered to pay restitution.
