McALPIN, Fla. — A McAlpin man was arrested April 5 for allegedly using personal identification of disabled adults in a fraud scheme.

According to Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit and the Suwannee County Sheriff’s Office, Jared Austin Combee, 31, allegedly falsified timesheets for services he never performed.

The MFCU investigation revealed the suspect falsified progress notes to his employer, Building Dreams, for services not rendered and left two disabled adults without care, supervision and services that the physician ordered. 

From the falsified progress notes, the suspect received more than $2,000 and defrauded Medicaid out of more than $4,000. The suspect’s claimed service dates and times for the disabled adults directly conflicted with the times he worked at Advanced Auto Parts, his second job.

Combee faces one count of organized fraud and two counts of criminal use of personal identification information of a disabled adult, all third-degree felonies.

The State Attorney’s Office for the Third Judicial Circuit will prosecute this case.
