SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - A northwest Iowa woman accused of defrauding the federal government has pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court in South Dakota.

Forty-four-year-old Wendy Gonzales of Le Mars, Iowa, is accused of inflating the number of miles she traveled to and from a Veterans Affairs medical facility in Sioux Falls. Authorities say she received more than $22,000 in travel expense overpayments.

U.S. Attorney Brendan Johnson says Gonzales faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted on the charge of theft in connection with health care.
