A mother and daughter were indicted Friday on charges that they stole more than $100,000 that was supposed to be used to help some of the District’s blind residents get a chance to earn a living.
Barbara Stevenson-Jones and her daughter, Pamela R. Stevenson owned Wellness, a city contractor given hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to recruit, train and support blind people who had obtained food vending machine licenses.
Prosecutors allege in an indictment unsealed Friday that the pair instead diverted money into their own accounts and used it on themselves.
