The Louisiana Bureau of Investigation led by the state attorney general arrested a Jackson Parish woman last week for defrauding the Medicaid program of more than $96,000.
LBI received a criminal referral from the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) regarding allegations that Savannah Davidson, 33, of Jonesboro, a Medicaid recipient, had underreported her income to fraudulently receive Medicaid benefits.
During this investigation, LBI agents learned that between October 2023 and April 2025, Davidson provided false information to LDH by concealing her marital status and true household income. As a result, Davidson defrauded the Medicaid program of more than $96,000.
On February 10, LBI agents arrested Davidson pursuant to an arrest warrant issued by the 19th Judicial District Court on charges of government benefits fraud.
Davidson was booked without incident at the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
