Mississippi woman arrested during SNAP fraud investigation
JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - A Mississippi woman was served an arrest warrant by authorities following a SNAP fraud investigation conducted by the Investigations Division of the Mississippi Department of Human Service.
MDHS announced that Beverly Sandoval of Alcorn County is charged with receiving $27,078 in SNAP benefits by not accurately reporting household income and composition accurately to MDHS.
Based on the evidence obtained during the investigation, the case was referred to the Alcorn County District Attorney’s office.
The Alcorn County District Attorney secured an indictment in December of 2023, and Alcorn County officials later apprehended Sandoval on Wednesday, February 28.
“This is a great example of collaboration between our investigations team, county office, and local law enforcement,” stated MDHS Inspector General Sandra Griffith.
An indictment is only an allegation.
All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
