HAMMOND - A Hammond woman was arrested for defrauding Medicaid out of more than $72,000, Attorney General Liz Murrill's office said. 

Shuna Singleton, 56, allegedly reported that her husband was no longer a household member to lower her income on paper and qualify for Medicaid, the AG said. 

Documents say that from July 1, 2019, to July 31, 2025, Singleton received $72,442 in benefits.

She was arrested and booked for two counts each of government benefits fraud and filing false public records.
