Slidell Woman Arrested After Purchasing Luxury Car, Plastic Surgery While on Government Assistance

EAST BATON ROUGE PARISH, LOUISIANA, JUL 29 – Candace Taylor allegedly underreported income and hid business ownership to fraudulently receive Medicaid benefits totaling millions, funding luxury purchases including a Lamborghini, officials say.

  • Candace Taylor, 35, from Slidell, Louisiana, was arrested on Monday for government benefits fraud after investigators uncovered misrepresentation of income.
  • The investigation began after the Louisiana Department of Health filed a complaint accusing Taylor of fraudulently obtaining Medicaid benefits by failing to fully disclose her income and business interests.
  • In May 2019, Taylor filed for Medicaid under the false name Candace Sailor, reporting earnings of $1,900 every two weeks and stating she had no dependents, despite her businesses generating revenue exceeding $9.5 million from 2020 through 2024.
  • Financial data revealed more than $480,000 in deposits in 2020, luxury expenditures including a $13,000 payment for a 2022 Lamborghini Urus, and a $100,000 wire transfer to an exotic car dealership.
  • Taylor’s arrest and charges suggest ongoing efforts to address Medicaid fraud, emphasizing scrutiny of income reporting and asset disclosure for benefit eligibility.
