Former MED Cashier Evicted From Collierville Mansion
MEMPHIS, TN -- A former cashier for the Regional Medical Center has been evicted from a home lawyers say she bought with money she stole from the hospital.
Tuesday, Shelby County Chancellor Kenny Armstrong granted an order evicting Cassandra Stanfield from 1190 Fall Springs in Collierville, Tennessee. A lawsuit filed by The MED in April 2005 alleges Stanfield bought the $600,000 home with some of the more than $2.1 million she stole from the hospital between 2000 and 2005.
"We got an order evicting her from the home in 30 days," says Michael McLaren, attorney for The MED's bonding company, Fidelity & Deposit Insurance.
The chancellor also award The MED access to any asset in the house that may have been purchased with the stolen money. "The computers, the TV's, everything else and put it in a warehouse for sale," says McLaren.
Neither Stanfield nor her attorney would comment on the case. Stanfield has not been criminally charged with the theft. The U.S. Attorney's Office has acknowledged it is conducting an investigation.
John Houseal, chief counsel for The MED, revealed two weeks ago that the hospital had issued a subpoena for records from American Loan CO., 636 Poplar Ave. McLaren told the court Tuesday that Stanfield hocked $13,000 in jewelry at the pawn shop for cash. He says the pawn shop's owner will give a deposition Monday affirming the transaction. McLaren says the transaction is in violation of a court order prohibiting Stanfield from disposing of any assets she may have procured with the stolen money.
"That's a part of our investigation," Houseal acknowledged.
Jeffrey Jones, Stanfield's first attorney, confirmed records filed with the chancery court that indicate he has officially withdrawn as her lawyer. He wouldn't say why on the grounds of "ethical reasons," but a source close to the investigation said Jones quit because he could no longer trust his client. The source said Stanfield "repeatedly lied" to Jones, making it impossible to represent her.
Houseal said Stanfield's second attorney, Viola Johnson, quit after Stanfield tried to file a court motion without Johnson's knowledge. Johnson has consistently refused our requests for comment.
April 2005, The MED sued Stanfield, her husband Travis and her daughter Jessica Branch, accusing them of spending $2.1 million of the hospital's operating fund from 2000 to 2005, most of which over a 19-month period. Shelby County Chancellor D.J. Allisandratos approved a temporary injunction to freeze assets the Stanfields may have purchased with the embezzled money. The injunction barred the Stanfields from selling or liquidating the home in Collierville, Tennessee; $50,000 in furniture, a plasma TV and electronics; an unspecified amount on jewelry; a $58,000 2004 Cadillac Escalade; a 2004 Lexus LX 470; a 2005 Mercedes Benz E320; a 2004 Nissan Maxima and a rental home in Hickory Hill appraised at $104,700. The order also bars the Stanfields from closing out specific First Tennessee bank accounts.
