Cindy Laraine Clark, 54, of the Villages of Parkwood, was arrested last month on a warrant charging her with welfare fraud. She remains free on $2,000 bond.

Clark earned $133,191 in wages between Sept. 25, 2015 and Dec. 30, 2016 at her job at Amedisys Holdings LLC in The Villages, owner of Amedisys Home Health headquartered at Lake Sumter Landing, according to an affidavit from the Florida Department of Financial Services Division of Public Assistance Fraud.
