Police in Hudson, New Hampshire, arrested a 31-year-old man they said lied about his wife's illness and death to get money from his employer. Officers said Scott Wellington told his bosses at C&M Machine that his wife was seriously ill with cancer. C&M Machine donated $7,000 to help Wellington cover her medical expenses. Wellington later told his employers that his wife had died. Officials said Wellington's wife didn't know about the plan until she received a sympathy card from the company. Mrs. Wellington called the company and let them know that she was still alive. The company then called police. Mr. Wellington was being held in lieu of $2,500 bail. He's scheduled to be arraigned today.
