A Delray Beach, Florida woman was arrested four years after she committed Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) fraud during the global pandemic.
According to an arrest warrant, Destiny Harris was charged with illegally obtaining $19,000 in PPP funds and unemployment fraud for receiving unemployed checks while she worked a full time job.
Harris was surprised when half a dozen police officers showed up at her door and asked her to step outside. At first she denied being Destiny Harris. Then she confirmed her identity and asked police if she could call her mother.

Harris broke down in tears as she explained to her very concerned mom that she didn’t know why the police were there.
Detectives told Harris that they sent her letters but she refused to show up for scheduled interviews.
She also refused to answer phone calls to a number registered in her name.
The very patient detectives allowed Harris to call her job and kiss her kids goodbye.
The Justice Department has stepped up efforts to charge people with PPP fraud ahead of the November election.
Harris is among four people picked up by Delray Beach police for PPP fraud recently.
One person was found to be a victim of identity fraud, while the other three filed for unemployment benefits that they weren’t entitled to.
