WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The Justice Department says a Georgia temporary staffing company and its owner have agreed to plead guilty in a Kansas case involving government contracts at government agencies.
Patriot Services Inc. and owner Stephanie Blackmon have agreed to plead guilty to making a false statement to the Small Business Administration.
The federal case, filed in Kansas City, Kan., is part of an investigation into fraudulent conduct involving contracts the Veterans Affairs' mail outpatient pharmacies at Leavenworth, Kan., and Hines, Ill.
Blackmon is black and a service-disabled veteran. She admitted she used that status to act as the figurehead owner so Patriot could secure government contracts specifically set aside for companies operated by socially and economically disadvantaged persons.
