PROSECUTORS ORDERED TO CLARIFY CHARGES IN FORMER ASSISTED LIVING CO-OWNER CASE

CLEVELAND, TN — The multi-million dollar fraud case against Andrew Charles Sneed, co-owner of Remember Me Senior Care, hit a procedural crossroads in Bradley County court today.

Sneed faces an eight-count indictment alleging he misused millions in company funds, including over $700,000 in unauthorized credit card charges and $3 million in self-issued loans. However, today’s motion hearing revealed significant confusion regarding the specifics of those charges.

Key Takeaways from Today’s Hearing:

"Defrauding Himself?": The defense pointed out a potential defect in the indictment, noting that counts 5 through 8 accuse Sneed of forging signatures to defraud himself. "He can't defraud himself," the Judge noted, as prosecutors agreed to review the language.

Motion to Dismiss Denied: Sneed’s attorney, Roy Roman, argued for a dismissal based on pretrial delays and "tarnished" testimony involving a third-party civil attorney. Judge [Speaker 1] denied the motion, ruling that the 10-month window since the indictment does not yet constitute a violation of a speedy trial, given the "very complex" nature of the case.

"Voluminous" Evidence: Both sides agreed the discovery is massive, involving thousands of pages of bank statements and credit card receipts. The defense described reviewing boxes of documents containing everything from $8 Dunkin' Donuts charges to multi-million dollar transfers.

Bill of Particulars Required: The Judge ordered the state to provide an amended "Bill of Particulars." This document must explicitly tie specific evidence to each of the eight counts so the defendant knows exactly what he is defending at trial.

What’s Next?

The court is holding a trial date in abeyance until the state provides the clarified list of charges. Sneed remains out on bond.
