62 Indicted For Food Stamp Fraud

62 people have been indicted in Jefferson County for food stamp fraud. The scheme involved

the fraudulent use of benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known

as SNAP benefits. A search warrant recently executed at Coleman’s Burger Deli on Highland

Avenue in Beaumont revealed over 300 purchases from EBT cards and over 60 SNAP receipts.

The purchases totaled more than $70,000 of food use at the restaurant. The restaurant’s owner,

Johnny Ray Coleman, turned himself in and is free after posting bond.
