South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced the arrest of Floyd R. Blackley, a 55-year-old resident of Chesnee, South Carolina. The arrest was carried out by the office’s Vulnerable Adults and Medicaid Provider Fraud unit (VAMPF), with assistance from the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office.
Blackley is accused of stealing approximately $17,185 from a vulnerable adult living at Magnolia Manor of Inman, an assisted living facility in Inman, South Carolina. The alleged offenses occurred between December 19, 2024, and April 21, 2025.
According to investigators, Blackley “knowingly and willfully engaged in the unlawful, unauthorized, and improper use of a vulnerable adult’s funds or assets for his own profit or advantage.” They allege that he used false pretenses or representations to access the victim’s account and withdraw funds for personal use.
Additionally, Blackley is accused of forging the victim’s signature on two occasions by endorsing loan checks totaling $6,022.14. He allegedly deposited these checks into the victim’s bank account before withdrawing the money for himself. Investigators further claim that Blackley devised a plan to obtain money owned or controlled by Bank of America through fraudulent means.
Blackley was booked into the Spartanburg County Detention Center on January 14, 2026. The Attorney General’s Office will prosecute this case.
Attorney General Wilson stated: “All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until they are proven guilty in a court of law.”
The VAMPF unit has authority over cases involving Medicaid provider fraud as well as abuse or exploitation of individuals in assisted living facilities or nursing homes under federal regulations. For federal fiscal year 2026, VAMPF receives most of its funding—75 percent—from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through a grant totaling $2,964,287; South Carolina provides the remaining 25 percent at $988,096.
