On March 9, 2026, I, Deputy Carnell Wright, was dispatched to [4100 BLOCK] Foreman Way, Hephzibah, GA 30815, in reference to elder abuse.

Upon arrival, I made contact with [WITNESS #1] (complainant), who stated her father, [VICTIM #1] (victim), advised that his caregiver, Edna Reddick (suspect), had been using his bank card without his permission. [WITNESS #1] stated that in 2025, while her father was in the hospital, she noticed money being withdrawn from his bank account.

She advised that once she obtained power of attorney over her father, she reviewed his bank statements and was able to identify when and where the withdrawals occurred. [WITNESS #1] also advised that she located large stacks of lottery tickets/lottery paperwork that she stated belonged to Reddick, which were played at local stores in the area.

[WITNESS #1] advised that Reddick is a personal care caregiver provided through the VA, and she believes Reddick has been taking advantage of her father while providing care. [WITNESS #1] stated that after discovering the suspected activity, she contacted Adult Protective Services and spoke with a representative identified as [REDACTED]. [WITNESS #1] advised that she was later informed that the case was closed and that [REDACTED] could not provide her with further information regarding the case.

During my investigation, I observed bank statements showing withdrawals from [VICTIM #1]’s account from 07/21/2025 through 07/25/2025 totaling $496.34, and from 08/04/2025 through 08/05/2025 totaling $2,251.24, for a total of $2,747.58. [WITNESS #1] advised that on those dates, [VICTIM #1] was in the hospital. [WITNESS #1] further advised that Reddick did not have permission to use [VICTIM #1]’s card without his consent. I advised [WITNESS #1] that a report would be completed and forwarded to CID. [WITNESS #1] was provided a case card.

I made contact with Lt. Cramer with CID, who advised the proper charge.
