Kerwenlie Paul, 22 of Nashville, was arrested and charged on April 9 with Financial Exploitation of an Elderly Person after calling police a day earlier and confessing to the crime, according to a police affidavit filed in Sumner County General Sessions Court. The crime is a Class E felony.
A woman called HPD on March 11 on behalf of her 73-year-old father and reported that two of her father’s credit cards had been stolen from Vanderbilt and were used at a Target and a Twice Daily in Hendersonville. The woman also reported on March 17 that one of the credit cards had been used at the Chick-Fil-A in Glenbrook.
The woman’s father, a cancer patient who spent nearly two weeks in Vanderbilt in February, confirmed that the transactions totaling more than $800 were made without his permission.
Paul contacted an HPD officer on April 8 and confessed to stealing and using the victim’s credit cards, according to the affidavit.
She was arrested the next day and was released on a $3,000 bond. Paul is scheduled to appear in General Sessions Court at 9 a.m. on May 11.
Online court records in Davidson County show the nursing student was charged in that county on April 10 with theft and identity theft for incidents that occurred in September of 2020 and October of 2021.
Paul had been in a nursing program since 2020 and had worked at multiple hospitals in Middle Tennessee, according to Hendersonville police.
