$1.5M Ohio Medicaid fraudster gets prison time

Yahoo17-04-2025

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WKBN) — A woman convicted of bilking Medicaid out of $1.5 million was sentenced Thursday.
Janay Corbitt, 36, was sentenced to six to nine years in prison following her guilty pleas last month. She will also have to pay back the money she stole.
Corbitt was indicted in May 2024 after an investigation by the Ohio Attorney General's Office revealed that she stole multiple identities to open and operate two sham behavioral-health counseling agencies in the Dayton area. She also stole the identities of several licensed counselors, using their credentials to bill Medicaid for services that were never provided.
Corbitt was arrested at a bus stop in Dallas in August 2024 after she fled Ohio.
Corbitt also has a 2019 theft conviction, which resulted in her being barred from the Medicaid program.

Panel to reflect on 10-years since trageic shooting at Mother Emanuel in Charleston

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – One week from today will mark 10 years since an event that changed the Lowcountry forever, the tragic June 17, 2015, shooting at Mother Emanuel in downtown Charleston. A gunman, motivated by white supremacist views, shot and killed nine people during Bible study at the historically Black church, leaving a lasting impact not only on the survivors but the greater Charleston community. As the 10-year mark approaches, people across the area are reflecting on how the Lowcountry came together in the aftermath of that event and refused to let love be drowned out by hate. Elected officials and community leaders will host a forum Tuesday night to explore the progress that Charleston has made in the 10 years since the attack and what work still needs to be done. That event will get underway at the Charleston Music Hall at 7 p.m. and will feature a panel discussion with leaders in law enforcement, community advocates, and lawmakers. News 2's Carolyn Murray will moderate the panel. There will also be a special performance by Grammy Award-winning musician Charlton Singleton. The event is free; however, registration is required.
