*A 35-year-old Slidell woman, Candace Taylor, was arrested by the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office for allegedly committing Medicaid fraud.
Following a complaint from the Louisiana Department of Health, investigators found that Taylor misrepresented her income to secure Medicaid benefits, News Nation reports. Between 2020 and 2024, she applied for and received these benefits while concealing her substantial earnings. Taylor’s businesses amassed over $9.5 million in revenue during the period in question.
In 2020, her accounts showed deposits exceeding $480,000, with significant spending on luxury purchases. These included $45,000 in vehicle payments, a $100,000 wire transfer for a 2022 Lamborghini Urus, multiple six-figure property purchases, cosmetic surgery, and jewelry. In a bold move, Taylor contacted the Louisiana Department of Health in 2024, just two months after purchasing the Lamborghini, to renew her benefits.
She claimed a monthly income of $2,000, failing to disclose her business ownership or substantial revenue. This discrepancy triggered an investigation into her financial activities. The Attorney General’s Office launched a criminal probe, leading to an arrest warrant for Taylor.
She was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on charges of government benefits fraud. The case has drawn attention due to the scale of the alleged fraud and the lavish expenditures tied to it. Attorney General Liz Murrill issued a statement addressing the arrest, emphasizing the state’s commitment to tackling fraud.
