South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced that a Greenville County Grand Jury has indicted Kelly Michelle Morgan, 36, aka Kelly Morgan-Cardinale, and Bryanna Marie Govin, 24, on charges of stealing prescription medications from nursing home residents. An investigation conducted by the SC Attorney General’s Office Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (SCMFCU), Fountain Inn Police Department, and the SC Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) revealed that both defendants used their employment status at a residential care facility to obtain access to controlled substances prescribed to the individuals under the defendants’ care. Specifically, the defendants are alleged to have unlawfully possessed controlled substances that were prescribed for the vulnerable adults residing at the facility. Additionally, Morgan is alleged to have trafficked controlled substances, neglected vulnerable adults by failing to provide supervision or medical care, and for practicing nursing for a period of time without authorization. Most of the indictments allege that various incidents occurred from October of 2019 until June of 2020.
