Florida Nursing Home Employee Accused of Abuse Faces Trial
On July 16, 2008, Lakreasha Cunningham, a former employee of Westminster Pines Assisted Living Center in Florida, allegedly pinched and punched a 76 year old resident in the stomach and arms multiple times. A witness reported that the resident hit Cunningham in the stomach while Cummingham was trying to dress her. Cunningham allegedly became upset and hit the victim, reportedly yelling, "How do you like it? How does that feel?"
Cunningham was charged with abuse of an elderly person. Her trial is set for early June 2009 and she faces up to five years in prison if convicted.
