In a recent government meeting, discussions centered around the residency status of Delia Thibodeaux, a candidate for office in Benton County. The inquiry was prompted by concerns raised by Thibodeaux's sister, Lisa Corwin, regarding her well-being and living situation. Corwin reported that she last saw Thibodeaux on April 17, 2024, at her home in Springville, Henry County, which raised questions about Thibodeaux's eligibility to run for office in Benton County, as candidates must reside in the county they wish to represent.

Thibodeaux asserted that she resides at a church in Big Sandy, where she has lived for nearly five years. She acknowledged owning property in Henry County but claimed it serves primarily as a secondary residence for out-of-town guests. The meeting revealed discrepancies between Thibodeaux's statements and public records indicating her primary residence as a property in Springville.

The discussion also touched on a past incident involving Thibodeaux at the church, where tensions escalated during a service, leading to her being asked to leave. The meeting concluded with a vote on the 6th district commissioner, with several members casting their votes for various candidates, including Keith Arnold and Maureen Douglas.

The outcome of this inquiry into Thibodeaux's residency could have significant implications for her candidacy and the integrity of the electoral process in Benton County.
