Yesterday Attorney General Jeff Landry’s Office arrested Bob Glynn Dean, Jr. – the owner of seven Louisiana nursing homes that evacuated to a warehouse in Independence prior to Hurricane Ida.
The 68 YO Dean of Thomaston GA, has been charged in Tangipahoa Parish with eight felony counts of Cruelty to Persons with Infirmities, five felony counts of Medicaid Fraud, and two felony counts of Obstruction of Justice.
Dean turned himself into the Tangipahoa Parish Jail, and then made bond of $350,000 and was released to house arrest.
A joint investigation by the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) and his Louisiana Bureau of Investigations (LBI) revealed Dean refused to move his residents out of the warehouse following Hurricane Ida, billed Medicaid for dates his residents were not receiving proper care, and engaged in conduct intended to intimidate or obstruct public health officials and law enforcement.
Additional legal action may be filed in the future as the investigation by the Attorney General’s Office is still ongoing.
