...court, charged with receiving four welfare checks, cashing them, and then falsely telling caseworkers he had never received them so that he could get replacements worth $222. Technically, the charges against Davis are grand and petty larceny, but District Attorney Burton Roberts found Davis' real crime a bit different.
