A 46-year-old woman is facing numerous charges after an investigation into fraud and falsifying documents.

RCMP say a complaint was received from provincial court officials in July 2013.

Officials suspected fraudulent activity in the Fine Option program on the Big River First Nation.

RCMP began an investigation and numerous people were interviewed.

Sylvia Grace Joseph was later arrested last month and is facing a total of 108 criminal code offences under the criminal code.

The charges include 17 counts of fraud, 28 counts of forgery, 31 counts of using a forged document and 32 counts of falsifying books and documents.

Joseph is scheduled to appear in court on January 13.
