Woman Arraigned on Exploitation Charge By: Daniel Kemp, Deputy Communications Director FRANKFORT, Ky. - Attorney General Jack Conway and his Medicaid Fraud and Abuse Control Unit today announced the arraignment of a Powell County woman on one count of knowing exploitation of an adult over $300. Bobbie Creech, 30, was indicted by a Clark County grand jury on Dec. 11, 2014, and arrested on Jan. 9, 2015. She was arraigned this morning in Clark Circuit Court. Creech is alleged to have exploited an adult under her guardianship by cashing the individual's Social Security income checks, which were to be used for paying medical and living expenses at a Medicaid-funded facility, and keeping the money for her own personal use. Knowing exploitation of an adult over $300 is a class C felony. If convicted, Creech faces a potential sentence of five to ten years in prison.
