Man sentenced in disability benefits fraud case

DAVENPORT — A Davenport man has been sentenced to 15 months in federal prison after prosecutors say he continued to receive disability benefits while he was serving prison time in an unrelated case. James C. Bailey, 67, was also sentenced Friday to three years of supervised release once he is released from prison. Prosecutors say Bailey began receiving Social Security Disability benefits in 2003.

Bailey was sentenced on Oct. 29, 2009, to up to 10 years in prison.
