MONTPELIER – A Williamstown man was sentenced Thursday on six counts of petty larceny related to Medicaid fraud.

James Rushford, 44, got a suspended jail sentence and was placed on five years of probation, according to the Vermont Attorney General's Office.

Rushford also will be required to repay more than $9,000 to the Vermont Medicaid program and perform 40 hour of community service.

As a personal care attendant, Rushford submitted false time sheets and received payment for services never rendered, officials said.
