Florida CNA Arrested For Felony Abuse

Cigi Serrevera Snell turned herself into officers at the Jackson County Jail on October 28, 2009 and was promptly charged with one count of abuse of an elderly adult, a third-degree felony.

Snell is a former employee of Signature Health Care Center of North Florida. She was terminated after an investigation by the Florida Department of Children and Families Adult Protective Services revealed that she knowingly abused a 90 year-old resident at the facility. Snell reportedly slapped the elderly woman across the face so hard that it left a red mark.

If convicted, Snell faces up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
