PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Police suspect a 29-year-old Polk County man and his family of involvement in a scheme that involved trading food stamp cards for cash and drugs.

KGW-TV reports (https://bit.ly/1mI9PLr ) Randall Moore faces charges that include food stamp fraud and possession of methamphetamine. Police also arrested 59-year-old William Moore and 38-year-old Shellie Utley.

On Wednesday, police arrested Randall Moore and say they found meth and five Oregon Trail food-assistance cards that didn’t belong to him. They also charged 31-year-old Alex Melcher for illegal use of assistance cards.



The Polk County Sheriff’s Office says they then searched Moore’s home on Friday, where they arrested William Moore for “numerous” charges, including interfering with police, and Utley.
