Authorities say a convicted killer who gained notoriety for having a murder scene tattooed on his chest received unemployment benefits while he was in jail.

Sheriff's Capt. Mike Parker said Saturday that Anthony Garcia, nicknamed "Chopper," received more than $30,000 in fraudulent unemployment while in Los Angeles County jail from 2008 to 2010.

Parker says Garcia's father and two girlfriends would get the checks then cash them and deposit the money in the inmate accounts of Garcia and fellow gang members.

Garcia's father 47-year-old Juan Garcia, and girlfriends 45-year-old Sandra Jaimez and 25-year-old Cynthia Limas, were arrested Thursday on charges including grand theft.

Parker says authorities have not decided whether to charge Garcia.

They never check a darn thing and I’m surprised they ever even caught this one.

Still govt thinks it can run healthcare?

This is more common than most people think. The boys in the Iron Bar Hotel have got the unemployment gig down.

If this happens with unemployment benefits, can you imagine how vulnerable ObamaCare will be?

Hey, come on, he was unemployed! What is the problem here?

Oh super, free smokes and Doritos for Mr. Garcia. I’ll bet he’ll somehow vote for Obama, twice.
