Summary

  • Ash Trevino, 37, avoided jail after pleading guilty to welfare fraud and healthcare fraud, receiving two years of community supervision instead.
  • The sentence also requires 120 hours of community service, an anti-theft program, financial counseling and $16,799.95 in restitution to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
  • Prosecutors had taken Trevino back into custody in March after alleging she violated bond conditions by drinking and purchasing alcohol following her December arrest.
  • TMZ-cited court documents said prosecutors alleged Trevino had relationships with 50 to 75 inmates in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, a theme that had driven much of her social media following.
