Highway 191 in Many, was arrested Oct. 6, 2026, on the following charges:
- Two (2) counts LRS 14:70.9 (Government Benefits Fraud)
LBI received a criminal referral from Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) regarding allegations that Kassie Malmay, a Medicaid recipient, had underreported her income for purposes to receive Medicaid benefits.
During this investigation, LBI agents learned that in the period between November 1, 2023 – April 1, 2026, Malmay provided false information to LDH by concealing her marital status and true household income. As a result, Malmay defrauded the Medicaid program of more than $48,000.
