Dillon woman charged with Medicaid fraud, attorney general says
DILLON, S.C. (WBTW) — A Dillon woman was arrested Wednesday after officials say she falsified signatures on Medicaid insurance payment documents. Stephanie Lauren Lovette, 45, is charged with one count each of obtaining signature or property under false pretenses valued at $10,000 or more and presenting false claims for an insurance payment valued at $10,000 or more. Attorney General Alan Wilson said his office's Vulnerable Adults and Medicaid Provider Fraud unit launched an investigation in cooperation with the Dillon County Sheriff's Office, finding that between Jan. 4, 2021 and Nov. 30, 2024, Lovette filed phony payment claims to the state Department of Health and Human Services. She's accused of submitting fraudulent mileage reimbursement claims for non-emergency medical transportation for a Medicaid beneficiary despite not providing the services. Both charges carry fines of between $500 and $5,000 and prison terms of up to 10 years. Wilson's office is prosecuting the case. * * * Adam Benson joined the News13 digital team in January 2024.

Miami Marlins join efforts to restore defaced Jackie Robinson and Minnie Miñoso mural
MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Marlins are joining efforts to restore the defaced mural of baseball legends Jackie Robinson and Minnie Miñoso in Miami's Overtown neighborhood, which was marked with racist graffiti last week. City of Miami Chairwoman Christine King announced Wednesday that she along with the Marlins, Urgent, Inc., Omni Community Redevelopment Agency, Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency and other community activists will lead the restoration at Dorsey Park, where community leaders said a 7-year-old boy first discovered the vandalism last Sunday and asked his mother what the words and the Nazi symbols meant. 'This vile assault was an attack on our values, history, and community,' King said in a statement. 'We are actively working with law enforcement and the public to identify the individual(s) responsible for this intolerable act. However, even in the darkest hours, light finds its way to shine. This is a reminder and testament to the strength of our community, coming together to restore peace, beauty, and pride to this neighborhood.' Police were investigating the incident but have not made any arrests. City workers have since partially covered the murals of Robinson and Miñoso, an Afro-Cuban player, with wooden boards. The murals are along a fence at Dorsey Park, where Negro League teams once played baseball. The Marlins' home ballpark loanDepot park is just a few miles from the park. 'In light of the deeply troubling acts of vandalism at Dorsey Park, the Miami Marlins today proudly stand in solidarity with the City of Miami Chairwoman Christine King, and our local leaders in unequivocally condemning this hateful and racist act,' said Marlins owner Bruce Sherman. 'Dorsey Park is not only a landmark of historical and cultural significance in South Florida — it is a powerful symbol of resilience, pride, and the enduring contributions of trailblazers to the game of baseball." Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball when he signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947 to become the first Black player. Miñoso became the league's first Afro-Latino player and the first Black player for the Chicago White Sox. The murals have been displayed in the park since 2011 and are a collaboration between artists Kyle Holbrook and Kadir Nelson and various community groups. ___ AP MLB:
