A former D.C. Department of Human Services employee has been convicted of conspiring with another worker to steal about $5,000 in welfare funds. Officials say 57-year-old Charles M. Brown faces up to nine years in jail and $500,000 in fines when he is sentenced in August. The thefts occurred in 2004 and 2005. Jurors in D.C. Superior Court convicted Brown on all 11 criminal charges, including identity theft, conspiracy, and fraud in obtaining public assistance. Alan Heymann, a spokesman for Mayor Adrian Fenty, said Brown worked for the D.C. government from 1999 until he was fired in July 2006.
