Sean David Moody, 39, was arrested on Thursday for allegedly abusing a disabled adult under his care, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI).

The TBI began investigating after receiving a referral from Adult Protective Services regarding a woman in Elizabethton, a news release states. A warrant was obtained charging Moody, the brother of the victim, with abuse of a vulnerable adult.

Moody was booked into the Carter County Jail on a $10,000 bond.

Special agents from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) Medicaid Fraud Control Division and the Carter County Sheriff’s Office are working on the ongoing investigation.
