Report: Jewel Thief at Austin, Texas Assisted Living Center

A former employee of Loyalton of Austin Assisted Living Center in Austin, Texas has been charged with injury to an elderly person for her role in jewelry thefts from residents at the facility. Gina Lewis, 23, has been accused of stealing jewelry from the residents in her care in May and June 2008. The jewelry was located at a local pawn shop after residents reported it missing.

Loyalton was cited in June 2008 for four violations during an inspection, which included failing to document continuing education for employees and failing to provide a site free of fire, health, or physical hazards.
