South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced that his office’s Vulnerable Adults and Medicaid Provider Fraud unit (VAMPF) has arrested Randall Aaron Simmons, 47 years old, and Tonya Elizabeth Simmons, 45 years old, both of Anderson, SC, for allegedly neglecting and stealing almost $330,000 from a vulnerable adult. A joint investigation conducted by VAMPF and the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office revealed that, between August 3, 2022, and September 3, 2024, Tonya Simmons and Randall Simmons conspired together to exploit and neglect a vulnerable adult. Authorities allege the couple knowingly and intentionally misappropriated $329,869.08 of the victim’s money and assets for their own personal benefit without authorization. After removing the victim from a skilled nursing facility and taking over responsibility for the victim’s care, the Simmonses allegedly neglected the victim by failing to provide adequate food, assistance with basic daily activities, and essential personal hygiene care and supplies. Randall Simmons, who had been granted control over the victim’s finances, fraudulently diverted those funds for his own use. Tonya Simmons knowingly received and accepted numerous Zelle transfers originating from the victim’s stolen bank account.
