A former Nashville caregiver has been arrested following an investigation by special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) Medicaid Fraud Control Division. In May, following a referral from the Tennessee Department of Human Services Adult Protective Services, agents began investigating allegations of financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult. During the course of the investigation, agents developed information that, from May 26th to May 27th, Eric Scott used the bank card and personal information of an individual in his care to make fraudulent withdrawals, purchases, and other transactions. On September 18, special agents, with assistance from the Metro Nashville Police Department, arrested Scott and charged him with one count of Theft of Property Over $1,000, one count of Fraudulent Use of a Credit Card Over $1,000, one count of Identity Theft, and one count of Financial Exploitation of an Elderly or Vulnerable Person Over $1,000.
