Former state welfare worker pleads guilty

A former state welfare worker has pleaded guilty to defrauding the Department of Family and Children Services out of 105-thousand dollars. Fulton County prosecutors say 43-year-old Gayla Owens made up fake clients and collected payments. Owens was a 15-year veteran of DFCS. She received 15 years probation, ordered to pay back the money and perform 200 hours of community service. Three other former DFCS employees accused of stealing money still face prosecution.
