Agents with Attorney General Liz Murrill's Louisiana Bureau of Investigation (LBI) arrested a Sulphur woman for defrauding the Medicaid program of more than $43,000.

LBI received a criminal referral from Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) regarding allegations that 36-year-old Mandy Lynn Anderson, of Ollinz Morgan Road in Sulphur, a Medicaid recipient, had underreported her income for purposes to receive Medicaid benefits.

During this investigation, LBI agents learned that in the period between January 1, 2018, through September 1, 2024, Anderson provided false information to LDH by concealing her marital status and true household income. As a result, Anderson defrauded the Medicaid program of more than $43,000. 

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

• 2 counts of LRS 14:70.9 – Government Benefits Fraud

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

Her bond has been set at $10,000.

The investigation is ongoing.
