Schramm is married to Deborah Schramm, who was previously charged.
Michael Schramm is charged with felony counts of grand larceny and offering a false instrument for filing.
He is accused of filing falisified documents from February through August last year in order to receive medical assistance and food stamps.
The total aid allegedly provided to the Schramm's above what they were entitled to was $17,026.39.
The suspect was located in Butler County, Ohio, by Warrant Officer Eric Olsen and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
The warrant also covered a failure to appear in Batavia Town Court on April 25 on an unrelated case.

Following arraignment, Schramm was jailed without bail.
