MD AG Brown Announces Indictment of Eastern Shore Family Members in Medicaid Fraud Scheme

An Anne Arundel County Grand Jury has returned indictments for 9 people who are alleged to have engaged in a coordinate scheme to defraud the Maryland Medicaid program. Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown says all the defendants are related by either blood or marriage. The owner of Infinite Abilities, LLC, 49 year old Corie Davis of Salisbury is charged along with 6 of her daughters, her son-in-law and her sister-in-law with defrauding a State Health Plan – specifically Medicaid – involving a value greater than $1500.

Additional information from AG Brown:

“Medicaid is a lifeline for thousands of Marylanders with developmental disabilities, helping them access critical care and live independently in their communities. Every dollar these defendants allegedly stole is a dollar that cannot go toward the care and support these residents need and deserve,” said Attorney General Brown. “Our Office will always fight to protect Medicaid and the vulnerable Marylanders it serves.” 

Infinite Abilities, LLC provides support broker services – such as information, coaching, and advice – to individuals with developmental disabilities that participate in the Self-Directed Services Program.

Medicaid is a U.S. government health insurance program that provides coverage to low‑income and vulnerable residents. The alleged fraudulent conduct includes knowingly and willfully submitting false information to obtain payment for healthcare services. 

Corie Davis is charged along with her six daughters:

• Ashley Renee Davis, 25, of Princess Anne
• Alesha Fay Davis, 29, of Princess Anne
• Ce’Airra Rebecca Davis, 24, of Salisbury (who is a Somerset County Sheriff’s Deputy)
• Selena Lynne Davis, 22, of Salisbury
• Destiny Larae Little, 30, of Fruitland
• Jocelyn Marie Davis, 28, of Pocomoke City
• (Jocelyn Marie Davis’ son-in-law) Desmond Samuel Lake, 27, of Salisbury (who is a Princess Anne Police officer)
• (Jocelyn Marie Davis’ sister-in-law) Matilda Ann Tull, 64, of Salisbury,

They are charged with the following:

• conspiracy to commit Medicaid fraud (valued over $1,500) 
• identity fraud

Defendant Corie Davis faces an additional charge of making a false statement in an application for public assistance. The State alleges that Corie Davis knowingly misstated her income and household composition when applying for Medicaid benefits. 

As with all criminal cases, these charges are allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. 

“The allegations in this indictment are serious and made even more disturbing because they involve law enforcement officers,” said Maureen R. Dixon, Special Agent in Charge with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General (HHS-OIG). “Theft from programs meant to support people with developmental disabilities will not be tolerated. HHS‑OIG is unwavering in our commitment to work with partners including the Maryland Office of the Attorney General, Medicaid Fraud and Vulnerable Victims Unit, and the Maryland State Police to protect vulnerable victims from fraud perpetrators and ensure the integrity of the Medicaid program.” 

In making today’s announcement, Attorney General Brown thanked Director of the Medicaid Fraud and Vulnerable Victims Unit Zak Shirley, Assistant Attorneys General Catherine Schuster Pascale and Kelly A. Casper, Senior Investigator Gordon Carew, Investigators Misty Battle and Mark Janowitz, and Investigative Auditor Yelena Slutskaya. Attorney General Brown also thanked the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General and the Maryland State Police for their assistance with this case.  

The Maryland Office of the Attorney General, Medicaid Fraud and Vulnerable Victims Unit receives 75 percent of its funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under a grant award totaling $7,119,096 for Federal fiscal year (FY) 2026. The remaining 25 percent, totaling $2,373,032 for FY 2026, is funded by the State of Maryland.
