SC Residential Care Worker Charged with Stealing from Vulnerable Adult

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced that his office’s Vulnerable Adults and Medicaid Provider Fraud unit (VAMPF) has arrested Dennie Lynn Driver, 49 years old, of Lexington, South Carolina. Driver was booked into the Lexington County Detention Center on February 27, 2026. A joint investigation by South Carolina’s VAMPF unit and the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department concluded that Dennie Driver knowingly and willfully exploited a vulnerable adult. The alleged exploitation took place from May 21, 2025, to August 20, 2025. According to investigators, Driver—an employee at Rapha Residential Care in Gaston, South Carolina, where the victim resided—intentionally misused the vulnerable adult’s funds in an unlawful, unauthorized, and improper way for personal gain or benefit. The victim qualified as a vulnerable adult under South Carolina law during the period of the alleged misconduct. Rapha Residential Care reported the suspected financial exploitation to law enforcement. Facility staff provided full cooperation throughout the investigation.
