District Attorney Collin Sims announces that a St. Tammany Parish Grand Jury returned a true bill today (May 13, 2026), indicting 39-year-old Keyoka Motley of Slidell, on the charge of Theft Valued at $25,000 or More.
The charge stems from activity occurring between August 1, 2022, and June 30, 2025. Motley is accused of misappropriation or taking of funds belonging to the State of Louisiana by deliberately understating income to receive SNAP benefits, with the intent to permanently deprive the state of property valued at $25,000 or more.
The Louisiana Department of Health, Fraud and Recovery Unit, investigated the case. Chief of Criminal Division Doug Freese presented the case to the grand jury for the District Attorney’s Office.
Following this indictment, Motley will be scheduled for a formal arraignment in the 22nd Judicial District Court, where she will enter a plea.
As this is a pending and ongoing criminal matter, the Office of the District Attorney for the 22nd Judicial District will have no further comment at this time.
An indictment is an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
