Attorney General Griffin Announces Arrest Of North Little Rock Man For Medicaid Fraud

On September 30, 2026, Marcus Jones, 31, of North Little Rock, Arkansas, was charged with Medicaid fraud, a Class A felony under Arkansas law. The Arkansas Office of the Medicaid Inspector General referred the case to the Arkansas Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) after Jones allegedly submitted claims to Arkansas Medicaid totaling $245,401.60 for services that were not rendered and for billing excessive hours in a single day. The alleged scheme involved submitting false claims to the Medicaid program for personal services that either did not occur or were billed at volumes exceeding what is possible in a given day. The case was investigated by Special Agent Laura Glover and prosecuted by Senior Assistant Attorney General Gabrielle Davis-Jones, with assistance from Sixth Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney Will Jones. The Arkansas MFCU receives 75% of its funding from HHS under a federal grant totaling $4,781,516 for federal fiscal year 2026, with the remaining 25% funded by Arkansas General Revenue.
