The owners of a Butler County door-to-door meat company and their two sons have pleaded guilty in a $1.1 million food stamp fraud case that also involved expensive vehicles and drugs.
Scott Traum, 46, and his wife, Joey Lightcap Traum, 44, owned and operated U.S. Beef Cincinnati, which is located in Fairfield.
Officials say the scheme involved exchanging food stamp benefits for cash as well as Oxycontin, marijuana and heroin.
