A joint investigation by special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s Medicaid Fraud Control Division and the Greeneville Police Department has resulted in the indictment of a former caregiver.

In May 2025, after receiving a referral from Adult Protective Services, TBI agents joined detectives with the Greeneville Police Department in investigating allegations of abuse and neglect involving a vulnerable adult who resided in a group home.

During the course of the investigation, authorities gathered evidence that indicated Akeem Jenrette, 33, while employed as a caregiver for Support Solutions in Greeneville, was involved in the abuse and neglect of a male victim, who is intellectually disabled.

On Monday, March 9, the Greene County Grand Jury returned indictments charging Jenrette with two counts of Abuse of a Vulnerable Adult and one count of Neglect of a Vulnerable Adult. Friday, he was arrested by the Greeneville Police Department and subsequently booked into the Greene County Jail on a $35,000 bond.

The TBI’s Medicaid Fraud Control Division receives 75 percent of its funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under a grant award totaling $11,616,724 for federal Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The remaining 25 percent, totaling $3,872,240 for Fiscal Year 2025-2026, is funded by the State of Tennessee.
