NASHVILLE, Tenn. A Clarksville woman who was employed as a home
care worker has been charged with exploiting and defrauding one of her clients.
After receiving a referral from
Adult Protective Services in May 2016, TN Bureau of Investigation (TBI) Agents
began investigating a complaint of financial exploitation by a home services
worker. At that time, Lamelia Bellamy provided home care to a client in
Nashville.
Agents developed information that Bellamy fraudulently used the
victim’s credit card to make purchases in Sumner County without the woman’s
consent.
On March 7, 2017, the Sumner County Grand Jury returned indictments
charging Lamelia Bellamy (DOB 08/04/1979) with one count of Fraudulent Use of a
Credit/ Debit Card, one count of Knowingly Exploiting an Adult, and one count
of Obtain, Possess, Buy or Use Personal ID of Another.
Bellamy, who has been held in Montgomery County on unrelated
charges, was transported to Sumner County on February 2. She was booked into
the Sumner County Jail and released after posting a $10,000 bond.
