BALTIMORE, MD—A federal grand jury indicted Andrew Langford, 49, of Ft. Washington, Maryland, on charges of wire fraud, theft of government property, and failure to disclose an event, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Maryland.
Langford received over $270,000 in disability benefits between January 2014 and May 2021 after applying for Social Security Administration disability benefits in November 2008. He is accused of defrauding the SSA by concealing his ownership and operation of NDA Cleaning Services in Maryland and CK Janitors, Inc., in Virginia.
Langford faces up to 20 years for wire fraud, 10 for stealing government property, and 5 for failing to disclose an event. Federal crimes typically result in sentences shorter than maximum penalties. A federal district court judge considers U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors before determining sentencing.
An indictment does not imply guilt. Individuals charged with a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty at a later trial.
