A 60-year-old Manchester woman has been sentenced after a Merrimack County jury found her guilty of Medicaid fraud involving her disabled daughter following a five-day trial.
The jury found Fawn Gobis guilty of one felony count of theft by deception and two felony counts of Medicaid fraud, according to a news release.
The verdict came after Gobis’s son, Cody Gobis, pleaded guilty in 2024 to a misdemeanor charge of receiving stolen property. Fawn Gobis was charged with stealing more than $10,000.
