Food Stamp Queen Busted

 The Mississippi Department of Human Services issued the following statement. 

A Pearl River County, Miss. resident surrendered to authorities on August 8, 2025, following a SNAP fraud investigation conducted by the Investigations Division of the Mississippi Department of Human Service (MDHS).

MDHS announced that Betsy Gobuzzi Johnson of Pearl River County received $22,111.00 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 Pearl River County District Attorney's office. The Pearl River County District Attorney secured an indictment on July 31, 2025, and Johnson later turned herself in to Pearl River County officials on Friday, August 8, 2025.





"This is a great example of collaboration between our investigations team, County offices, District Attorneysand local law enforcement," stated MDHS Inspector General Sandra Griffith.

Senior Agent Blake Edwards 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 strengthened controls we have in place to identify, investigate, and eliminate fraud in our programs," 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.

But KF, she's a blonde white lady! You only post race-attacking news against a certain segment of the population, right? I mean, how dare you show us this trash!

For $22,111.00 a girl could buy a lot of twinkies and sodas.

Where did the “I’d hit it guy” go to ? Haven’t heard from him lately?

We need laws that require full restitution and that take part of the guilty party's income going forward until it is paid in full. I would even approve of taking any assets they have, as it stop a lot of this and other white collar crimes.

It was very disconcerting to find out I’m a racist shit stain. Thanks for the insight, 2:08.

2:08 I'm a racist. I'm openly racist, and I admit it. For most of my life, I've tried to do what's right and consider all of us as being humans and not racial beings. However, seeing as how the "progressives" have told me constantly over the last 10 years that, since I'm white, I'm inherently racist and there's nothing I can do to NOT be racist, I pretty much said "f' it" and just turned full on openly racist AF. It's much easier, being that there are AMPLE reasons to be that way. No sense in doing what I can to avoid racism, when I've been told I was born that way and there's nothing I can do about it.

Seems like the progressive claims have been pretty much self defeating in that regard, huh?

Don't worry @ 2:08. We don't condone actions her but we'd gladly turn her in if we caught her. You and your ilk would just say "snitches get stitches" and invite her to the bbq. Clean up your own house before you come for us.

Simple solution, give incentives to whistleblowers! It’s really fucked up when most recipients drive expensive cars, get their hair, nails, and eyelashes done weekly. Drive expensive cars, household members wearing designer clothes and filling up at the supermarket with expensive steaks and seafood all while posting their deeds on social media! Some DHS workers know the deal however do want to rock the boat because their friends will get in trouble. In small towns everybody know your business!
Give incentives for ratting these thieves out!
Now what about the DHS scandal where millions of dollars was misappropriated! Anyone in jail yet! We haven’t forgotten!

THAT is because here in reality if you are genuinely a racist then its overt and you are prob very well aware of it. If someone else has to point it out to you then YOUR NOT FC&&&&NG RACIST. You are simply a victim of some other assholes opinion about your behavior. Racism is not "micro aggressions", and racism is not "institutional", racism is very simply one asshole thinking he is better than other people for no other reason than he just thinks that way.

I grew up in the 60’s where my dad used to go to the pick up place for commodities ( canned meats, rice, powdered eggs and milk etc) this was before food stamps. He assisted people in the community who didn’t have transportation. I think we’ve gotten off track with what food stamps should buy! Only enough to survive until you can get on track. It should not take generations only a couple of months!!!

If MDHS workers would really do their jobs very few would be getting Snap benefits!
I know the government wants the public to know they are doing something, this is peanuts! Go after the hundreds of clients that are abusing the system! I just left the grocery store looking at steaks for dinner! Too freaking high! I bought a whole chicken and I make close to $100,000 a year in retirement! But, I also like high dollar whiskey! So I had to compromise. I took the whole chicken!

If all you’re holding is a hammer then everything looks like a nail. Why don’t you get rid of that raggedy old race card you’ve been quick-drawing your whole life and learn to live without it.

2:08 here.
Yall don't pretend like you all dont tell the same tired anecdote about seeing a "welfare queen" buying steaks and lobsters with food stamps and then following her out to a "better car than mine" since the 80's.

It is really pathetic to see you doing such mental gymnastics about how telling that lie (based on a racist news article during Reagan) that isn't racist. Oh, and constantly saying "race card" all the time as an excuse for calling out your racist bullshit is, get this... racist!

You are incorrect, a racist, a hypocrite, and possibly a troll. I suspect you are first three of those very frequently. She didn't push a cart out to her Lexus. But that's not your biggest error, by a long shot. Her apparently fairly well-to-do newish hubby owns a ranch and set her up with a meat market and small grocery. She was "buying" her own products (and possibly reselling them) so no other customers saw her shopping, to be able to report anything or even just mutter something. In fact, she is well-known enough around the Picayune area that if she had used a SNAP card anywhere else around the area, likely someone would have reported it as suspicious.

She isn't a "welfare queen," she is just a plain old fashioned thief. And as has been posted above, this isn't her first time proving it (with her prior husband). As an aside, we know a couple of people who know the new husband and from what they have said he didn't know about this. They seem certain but I don't know him personally so I cannot be.

Anyway, I guess if you are determined to be wrong, a racist, and a hypocrite, go big or go home. You certainly went big.

I think they might call them 'case workers', but whatever they're called, you would be surprised at the number who encourage 'number in household' fraud and overlook income documents. It's a way of life for the caseworker and the recipient.

If welfare is such a drain in our economy, considering that Republicans have long since had the numbers to extinguish or reform it, why haven’t they done so? I think I know why. It hurt their constituents more.

Right on 3:24! Totally agree!!

I supported my kids through college for 4 years, Law School 3 years, 7 years total. Now it’s time to stop supporting generations of families on welfare, section 8, etc!
I worked two full time jobs and was a member of The Mississippi National Guard. Come on people, you want me to take you to grocery store!

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
