At the request of 15th District Attorney General Tommy Thompson, and alongside investigators with the office of the Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury, in September 2019, TBI Special Agents began investigating the theft of funds from a pediatric medical practice in Lebanon. During the course of the investigation, Agents developed information that between 2014 and 2019, Emily Gannon, who was the office manager at that time, was the individual responsible for stealing more than $500,000 from the practice.
