On August 18, 2025, at approximately 1:27 p.m., State Police received an investigative packet from an investigator with the Essex County Department of Social Services regarding suspected welfare fraud.

An investigation determined Crevier falsified a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) application, which resulted in an overpayment of approximately $2,246 in benefits. During the period in which she was receiving benefits, she failed to report income from a part-time job, from operating an Airbnb, and from operating a business.
