A Minnesota couple, who went on the run after being accused of
claiming welfare benefits while living on a million-dollar yacht, has
been arrested in Florida, authorities said on Tuesday.

Colin Chisholm III and his wife, Andrea, allegedly received more than
$165,000 in food stamps and other public assistance over a seven-year
period, a Minnesota prosecutor said.

Police in the Bahamas spotted the couple on Monday and told them their
visas had expired. Authorities then escorted the Chisholms, their son
and dog onto a ship bound for Fort Lauderdale.

The couple was arrested on arrival in Port Everglades, Florida,
according to a statement from the office of Mike Freeman, a prosecutor
in Hennepin County, Minnesota.

Last month, the Chisholms were each charged with a felony count of
wrongfully obtaining public assistance in excess of $35,000. The
charges were originally filed in February but sealed while police
searched for the couple.

In April 2005, the couple purchased a $1.2 million yacht, The Andrea
Aras, shortly after applying for welfare benefits in Minnesota,
according to criminal complaints.

For 28 months, the Chisholms were living on the yacht near Palm Beach,
Florida, while claiming they lived in Minnesota, the complaints say.

According to the complaints, Colin Chisholm was chief executive
officer of a satellite television and broadband services company and
his wife was a breeder of pedigree dogs.

Investigators said tried to pass themselves off as Scottish
aristocrats — at least when they weren’t signing government benefits
forms.

“These were rich folks ripping off the system,” said Mike Freeman,
Hennepin County (Minn.) Attorney.

Between 2005 and 2012, the couple allegedly deposited more than $2.6
million in bank accounts that was not reported on their applications
for welfare benefits, the complaints said.

The couple lived in luxury homes in suburban Minneapolis, once owned a
$30,000 Lexus and also collected welfare benefits in Florida,
according to the complaints.



The boys here will go their bail, I am sure.

Nope, probably Democrats, Liberal Arts degree.



We've been over this before. You have no idea what categories are
included in the liberal arts, so when you say something stupid about a
liberal arts degree, it just betrays your ignorance.


Bill is a Democrat. Well, at least he was before he voted for Reagan.



Bill is a Zell Miller Democrat. :)


Damn correct! Also a Truman Democrat. But pretty much vote 3rd party for
POTUS.

That must cause you a lot of headaches, since Truman was a pragmatist
and Miller is a lunatic.
