WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A federal appeals court has upheld the conviction of a former Kansas Air National Guard senior airman for lying about where she lived so she could fraudulently collect higher housing benefits.

The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday the evidence was sufficient for a federal jury to convict Eledria J. Bradley of wire fraud. She was sentenced in January to three years of probation and ordered to repay the $55,000 she fraudulently received.

Prosecutors said Bradley went online and changed her address to Chandler, Ariz., while she was deployed to McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, where she lives.

The Arizona address placed Bradley outside the commuting distance for McConnell, allowing her to collect two years’ worth of benefits for lodging and per diem expenses.
