BATON ROUGE — Louisiana State Police arrested a woman who they say collected over $41,000 in casino winnings using falsified Social Security numbers to avoid paying overdue child support.

Troopers say Shamika Brown, 43, of Alexandria, used falsified Social Security numbers to collect 16 jackpots at L’Auberge Casino Baton Rouge in 2020.

LSP also said Brown collected a jackpot of nearly $2,500 at another Baton Rouge casino in 2023 using false identifying information. In October 2024, Brown provided additional false Social Security numbers while attempting to collect a $1,264 jackpot at L’Auberge Casino Baton Rouge, leading to an arrest warrant being issued.

Officials say that on Monday, an investigator recognized Brown at L’Auberge Casino Baton Rouge as she attempted to retrieve the same $1,264 jackpot from October 2024. She was booked on 18 counts of bank fraud and identity theft.
