COLUMBIA, S.C. — An Irmo woman is accused of stealing more than $100,000 from a Charleston nursing home resident for her own personal use.
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced that his office’s Vulnerable Adults and Medicaid Provider Fraud unit (VAMPF) has arrested Rose Sherrie Davis, 64 years old, of Irmo.
An investigation revealed that, between November 10, 2021 and April 29, 2022, Davis made unlawful and unauthorized use of the funds and assets of a vulnerable adult. Specifically, it is alleged that Davis, while being entrusted as the victim’s power-of-attorney, used the personal identifying information to access the victim’s bank accounts and converted $102,109.04 of the victim’s money for her own personal use.
It is also alleged that Davis obtained and used two debit cards belonging to the victim to make charges of over $500 in a six-month period.
The victim, a vulnerable adult under South Carolina law, resided at NHC Healthcare West Ashley in Charleston at the time of the alleged misconduct.
The case was referred to VAMPF through a hotline (1-888-NO-CHEAT) complaint from a concerned citizen and will be prosecuted by the Attorney General’s Office.
Davis was booked into the Charleston County Detention Center on September 20, 2024.
