Maine fitness trainer and reality TV contestant accused of welfare fraud

GRAY (WGME) -- A fitness trainer from Gray, who has been on two different reality TV shows, is accused of welfare fraud.

Prosecutors say from 2009 through 2016 Jodi Theriault received more than $10,000 in food stamp benefits.

She's accused of hiding assets that would have prevented her from qualifying for the program.
