Group home's money spent on liposuction

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) - The former director of the Montgomery Developmental Center has been indicted by a grand jury in connection with the theft of $429,000, Montgomery County Prosecuting Attorney Mat Heck, Jr. announced Friday.

Prosecutors say Douglas A. Carter, 46, was the business administrator for the facility which was home to more than 100 developmentally disabled adults from 2009 to 2012. During that time, they say Carter used Medicaid money destined for care of patients for his own personal expenses, including liposuction.

“This defendant illegally stole over $400,000 and used that money for everything from buying himself a new SUV, purchasing an engagement ring for his girlfriend and even liposuction for himself!” Heck Said, “Instead of being a good steward of public money, he abused his position of authority and trust, and victimized developmentally challenged adults.”

Carter faces charges of aggravated theft, theft in office, forgery, tempering with government records and money laundering.
