Marshall said Tuscaloosa resident Tameko H. Green, 52, had been employed as the facility’s financial officer and was responsible for maintaining the facility’s patient trust fund — an account used for the residents’ daily needs.

The attorney general did not comment on the specifics of where Green was employed.

"Green had been employed by the facility for 18 years," Marshall said. "The matter was investigated by the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, after a referral from the Alabama Department of Public Health. The investigation determined that, between January 2023 and September 2025, Green stole at least $3,500 from 25 residents."

He then said Green is charged with one count of first-degree theft of property, a class B felony punishable by two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $30,000.

Green was booked in to the Tuscaloosa County Jail and was released after bond was set at $5,000.
