A Nebraska woman has received a 10-month prison sentence for submitting fake claims seeking assistance after Hurricane Katrina.

Chief U.S. District Judge Ginny Granade sentenced Lisa Fenimore last week in Mobile.

The 42-year-old Fenimore also was later arrested on a new charge in Nebraska for alleged misuse of a credit card

Fenimore admitted to calling an assistance hot line claiming damage to a rented mobile home she was no longer living in when Katrina struck.

FEMA paid her nearly $10,000 and provided a travel trailer for her to live in for about six months.
