WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Pulaski woman has been arrested on multiple fraud charges, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) announced Saturday.
TBI said the arrest is the result of a multi-year investigation. The investigation began when they received information that Cathy Taylor, 56, the then-owner of Five Star Medical Staffing in Franklin, was involved in billing TennCare and receiving payments for personal care services that clients never got.
Through the course of their investigation, they learned that from 2011 through 2018, Taylor forged time sheets and signed individuals' names as though they had performed or received services. It was also learned she submitted time sheets for services not rendered to clients, and forged both employee and client signatures.
Taylor is charged with one count of theft over $10,000, seven counts of forgery, 30 counts of identity theft and one count of TennCare fraud. She was arrested Friday and booked into the Williamson County jail on a $10,000 bond.
