ATLANTA – Attorney General Chris Carr announced Wednesday that Lawrence Montgomery Jr. has been indicted on one count of felony exploitation of an elder person in Hart County. The defendant was the personal representative for an elderly relative who lived in a nursing facility. In this capacity, he is alleged to have taken more than $8,600 in Social Security payments from this elderly relative and to have used those payments on personal expenses.
“This indictment is yet another step in our ongoing efforts to protect our most vulnerable Georgians,” Carr said. “With our Medicaid Fraud Division, we are working each day to ensure those who take advantage of older adults are held accountable for their actions. Elder exploitation of any kind will not be tolerated in our state.”
