Republicans know a lot about defrauding government programs–after all, they tell us it is happening all the time. Jon Whiteford, for instance, kept his mother in a freezer for three years while he cashed her Social Security checks.
When the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office began to investigate what happened to his mother Faye Whiteford, her son dumped her body in an abandoned house and killed himself.
The investigation began when the Social Security Administration contacted Sheriff Todd Wood in February, spurring on an investigation into what happened to the elder Whiteford. The results of the investigation were chilling.
“Jon stored her in a freezer from 2011 until around Christmas of 2013 when he was forced to leave his home,” said Lt. Brett Whitaker of the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department.
During a later interview with Whiteford on March 29 at the house next door to his repossessed home, he pulled out a pistol and killed himself in front of a deputy.
“He just got himself into trouble, and once you do something like that, there is really no way out,” said Whiteford’s friend, Al Fried. “He couldn’t face it and that’s probably why he ended his life. He wasn’t a bad person, it’s just that he did one bad thing and from that one bad thing led to other bad things.”
Faye Whiteford’s body was found wrapped in a tarp in an abandoned Wayne County home on April 23.
Given his Second Amendment solution to the problem and his obvious expertise in defrauding the government, it is no surprise that Pulaski County voter registration records reveal that he votes Red.
Does his political affiliation matter at the end of the day? No–but we thought we would head off all the likely right-wing claims that he’s a Democrat. You remember Donald Sterling, right?
