DENHAM SPRINGS, La. — A Denham Springs woman was arrested this week following an investigation into alleged Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit fraud, according to the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office said its Financial Crimes Unit was contacted by the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services’ Fraud and Recovery Unit regarding a complaint involving Amiracle Brooks, 41. Investigators allege Brooks failed to report her correct income and submitted false verification documents, resulting in the receipt of $17,760 in SNAP benefits for which she was not eligible between September 2022 and June 2024.
According to authorities, the investigation concluded that Brooks violated Louisiana law regarding the unauthorized use of SNAP benefits. Brooks was arrested and booked into the Livingston Parish Detention Center without incident.
