CHESTNUTHILL TOWNSHIP -- A man accused of scamming the government out of more than $100,000 in medical claims is locked up awaiting extradition back to Monroe County.
Authorities in Florida arrested Michael Johnston, 55, on fraud and theft charges.
Johnston allegedly submitted hundreds of fraudulent Medicaid claims over three years while he owned Vision Counseling Services near Brodheadsville.
Investigators say he never actually provided the services because he was out of the country.
