Local Woman Arrested for Defrauding Medicaid Program

Savannah Davidson

Attorney General Liz Murrill’s Louisiana Bureau of Investigation arrested a Jackson Parish woman for defrauding the Medicaid program of more than $96,000.00.

The Louisiana Bureau of Investigation (LBI) received a criminal referral from the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) regarding allegations that 33-year-old Savannah Davidson, of Highway 505 in Jonesboro, a Medicaid recipient, had underreported her income for purposes to receive Medicaid benefits.

During this investigation, LBI agents learned that in the period between October 2023 and April 2025, Davidson provided false information to LDH by concealing her marital status and true household income. 

On Wednesday, February 10, 2026, LBI agents arrested Davidson pursuant to an arrest warrant issued by the 19th Judicial District Court on charges pertaining to:

LA.R.S. 14:70.9 – Government Benefits Fraud

Davidson was booked without incident at the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
