| HEADQUARTERS NEWS RELEASE April 16th, 2012 LSP Fraud Investigations result in Arrests The Louisiana State Police Bureau of Investigations brought two separate criminal fraud investigations to conclusion this past week resulting in arrests in Orleans and St. Tammany Parish. On April 10th, 2012, LSP Insurance Fraud Investigators arrested 47 year old Linda Williams of New Orleans, LA following an investigation into alleged insurance fraud. The investigation stemmed from a complaint from State Farm Insurance Company alleging that Williams submitted fraudulent medical bills from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle crash in 2008. Troopers’ investigation revealed that nearly nine months after the original crash, Williams submitted medical bills to State Farm totaling over $6000 from medical services provided by Modern Healthcare. Upon further investigation, Troopers discovered that Modern Healthcare was a fictitious business created by Williams to fraudulently support her claim. Williams was booked without incident into the Orleans Parish Jail. On April 11th, 2012, a joint investigation between Louisiana State Police Detectives and the Office of Inspector General for the Social Security Administration resulted in the arrest of 44 year old Nanette Broadus of Covington, LA. The investigation concluded that Broadus fraudulently filed for and collected Social Security Disability Benefits for her step son despite never having custody of the child. Detectives discovered that Broadus’ step son was in fact solely under the care and support of his biological mother and never received the benefits collected under his name. Over a four year period, Broadus submitted fraudulent reports to the Social Security Administration documenting the care and support of her disabled stepson while collecting almost $50,000 in benefits. Broadus surrendered to Troopers and was booked accordingly into the St. Tammany Parish Jail. Anyone wishing to report criminal or suspicious activity to the Louisiana State Police Bureau of Investigations is urged to contact detectives at 225-925-3682. The Louisiana State Police on-line reporting system is also available to the public through a convenient and secure reporting form that is submitted to the appropriate investigators.
