Nursing Assistant Suspected in Elder Abuse

AL - Jefferson County sheriff's deputies are searching for a certified nursing assistant charged with stealing the identity of a 98-year-old patient.

Authorities say Jacqueline Anne Lumpkin took personal information from a nursing home patient and rang up more than $5,000 in goods and services.

Lumpkin, of east Birmingham, was employed by a temporary work agency that had placed her in the nursing home. Investigators didn't release the name of the nursing home.

Lumpkin is charged with elder abuse/neglect, identity theft, and fraudulent use of a credit card. Her bond is set at $45,000.

Authorities are trying to determine if there are additional victims.

Anyone who knows of Lumpkin's whereabouts is asked to call the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office at 325-1450 or Crimestoppers at 254-7777.

  1. More and more crimes of this nature will come to light and now, with the economy in a nosedive
    Jacqueline Anne Lumpkin's
    crimes will multiply like cockroaches.

    I hope the authorities find and dig this scum out of the muck and throw her in a cage for life because she is dangerous and will do this again and probably has a parade of victims in her past.

  2. And what happens to the victim now?

    A guardianship, I bet. And that's when she'll lose everything she has left.

  3. Yes, "We", she's probably made a career out of exploiting the elderly. A real piece of work.

    She was in a position to actually help people and do good deeds, but she chose greed instead.
