Angelia Renese Fells

On October 27, 2025, the Dakota County Sherriff’s Office received a fraud report from Dakota County Employment and Economic Assistance (DEED) for Angelia Renese Fells [DOB REDACTED]. FELLS had not reported any income in over two years, but FELLS had been employed and receiving an income since 2023. DEED was able to find that FELLS had been receiving an income from the 2nd quarter of 2023, into the 3rd quarter of 2025. FELLS reported having no income in 2023, 2024, and 2025. FELLS received overpayments from September of 2023 until September of 2025. FELLS’ overpayments totaled $6,117.00. Deputies were able to make contact with FELLS over the phone and when confronted with the falsified applications, she said that someone helped her fill them out.

There is no authorized representative on FELLS’ case and FELLS signed and dated all her falsified applications. When deputies tried to tell FELLS about the criminal investigation, she hung up the phone.
