The Union Parish Sheriff’s Office has made an arrest following an investigation into reported fraudulent activity.
In January 2026, investigators received information alleging Meghann Marie Brown, 42, of Marion, represented herself as an attorney and accepted money for providing legal services. Investigators from the Criminal Investigations Division (CID) launched an investigation. The investigation revealed Brown accepted payments totaling over $1,000 while claiming she would resolve outstanding legal matters and assist with additional legal proceedings on the victim’s behalf.
Further investigation revealed that Brown was not licensed to practice law in the State of Louisiana or any other jurisdiction. CID investigators confirmed that the promised legal payments were never made, and the victim did not receive the services that were represented. Investigators prepared an arrest warrant, and it was signed by a Third Judicial District Court judge.
On March 16, 2026, officers from the Marion Police Department located Brown in Marion, and she was taken into custody without incident. Brown was booked into the Union Parish Detention Center for Felony Theft and False Personation. Her bond was set at $15,000.
