The Mississippi Department of Human Services issued the following statement.
A Jefferson Davis County, Miss. resident was apprehended by authorities on October 3, 2025, following a SNAP fraud investigation conducted by the Investigations Division of the Mississippi Department of Human Service (MDHS). MDHS announced that Victoria Reese of Jefferson Davis County received $25,698.00 in SNAP benefits by not reporting household income and composition accurately to MDHS. Based on the evidence obtained during the investigation, the case was referred to the Jefferson Davis County District Attorney's office. The Jefferson Davis County District Attorney secured an indictment on October 1, 2025, and Reese later arrested by Jefferson Davis County officials on Friday, October 3, 2025. "This is an example of the continued collaboration between our investigations team, County offices, District Attorneys, and local law enforcement," stated MDHS Inspector General Sandra Griffith. |

Agent Guy DeMars of the MDHS Investigations Division investigated the case. The Investigations Division is a subset of the MDHS Office of the Inspector General (OIG), which was created in August 2018 and charged with detecting, deterring and preventing fraud, waste, and abuse. OIG has been responsible for millions of dollars collected from overpayments. “This investigation demonstrates the controls we have in place to identify, investigate, and eliminate fraud in our programs; plainly, those controls are working,” MDHS Executive Director Robert G. “Bob” Anderson said. An indictment is only an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. Suspected fraud can be reported to MDHS online at any time by submitting the MDHS Fraud Tip Form at Report Fraud - Mississippi Department of Human Services calling the Fraud Tip Line at 1-(800)-299-6905, or email at fraud@mdhs.ms.gov.

Now, do all the people giving their cards to others who pay them cash to use the card for their groceries instead of the family it was meant for.
What’s that thing behind her? A pinball machine?
Indicted 10/1, arrested 10/3. Why did it take five weeks to make news? Slow news day?
Oh snap!
Now seat a jury that convicts her
KF is just making sure we readers don't forget that crime and race are mutually exclusive. He's a racist, fascist, muck-raking bigot so he brings up old news just to slander those of a color other than his own. Right? Seems totally logical. OR...he just happened to find out about it now and reported it in as timely a fashion as he could, you pedantic ass.
Should be made to repay every penny with interest and never qualify for welfare benefits forever.
SNAP fraud . . . now where have I heard that before??
We must make sure people don't spend SNAP money on Doritos . . . but the development of concussion cream and a volleyball court for Brett Favre's daughter is a different story. Or is it?
tip of the iceberg
@ 10:58, You guys bring that crap on yourselves. Dont do hoodrat stuff, and you wont be labled hoodrats
SNAP fraud chump change to TANF looting by politicians and washed up athletes like Brett Fart
Not about race! If you really want to make a big dent in SNAP fraud start a whistle blower program in Mississippi. $500 for every reliable tip that leads to arrest and conviction! I’ll bet you will have 100,000 reliable tips in a week! But naw thats too much work!
Also $1000 for every tip that a MDHS employee is involved in the fraud.(one in every county)
Will not solve this problem when government employees turn a blind eye to wrongdoing or give advice to clients to undermine the system.
Reading comprehension saves lives.
i can conprehend good enough @12:10 and I can conprehend that the only way to MAGA is to get rid of you libtards
She seems happy about it. Her shirt also says it.
No, @12:27, you cannot. My original comment was in jest. That means it was a joke. Humor. Sarcasm. But you failed to "conprehend" that. God it's sad that we are on the same side.
all you ever got to say.....lets just sit you down on repeat. Nothing new or intelligent to say EVER!!!!
10:58 Wash your mouth out. He didn’t cause them to steal, they chose their path!

Man...That sounds like this story hit close to home, huh?...Is that your Mom the story's about? You Hungry?
I would look into the other family members, this shigity spreads like cancer!
Y’all please read 10:58’s comment again. It is great sarcasm in support of KF’s reporting, but you must read, and comprehend, the entirety of it. Don’t be a pedantic ass and fire off a rebuttal after you’ve only read half of the first sentence.
@10:58 AM, no, no, and — you’re wrong (again) — no. KF, while no paragon of journalistic virtue, isn’t racist, definitely not fascist. Muck-raking, yes. But you say that like it’s a bad thing. They’s a lots of muck needs raking in these parts.
But pay attention. I’m not saying Kingfisher delayed reporting this story. The lag in reporting was on the part of, apparently, MSDH. You need to just calm yourself down.
@6:30 PM has to be familiar with JDC. A wise comment.
