The mother and sister of a beloved autistic man who died this year from a gunshot wound sustained in an attempted robbery have been arrested on charges of defrauding the state of Medicaid funds. Deonn Carter’s mother, Suzette Ragland, and sister, Kimillia Carter, are accused of falsifying records to defraud the state of $22,035.86 between Aug. 10, 2012, and Dec. 15, 2014, according to a Muscogee County grand jury indictment filed Dec. 13. The indictment alleges Ragland and Kimillia Carter together filed documents claiming Carter was providing Medicaid-funded services to Deonn Carter when in fact the sister was serving other patients. “The Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) offers a Medicaid ‘waiver program’ known as the ‘Comprehensive Supports Waiver Program’ (COMP),” reads the indictment. “This program allows Georgia Medicaid recipients with intellectual or developmental disabilities to receive services in their homes.” Read more here: www.ledger-enquirer.com/news/local/crime/article123646054.html
