Warrant Issued for Minnesota CNA Charged With Patient Mistreatment
Minnesota authorities have issued a warrant and are actively searching for Quantel Morris after other facility employees watched as the CNA reportedly stuffed a sock into the mouth of a ninety-eight year old female resident at Sunnyside Care Center in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. When confronted, Morris told investigators that the woman would not quit yelling while he was changing her, so he placed the sock in her mouth. Reportedly, the woman was scared for days after the incident.
Reportedly, this is not the first time Morris' care has come into question. In November 2009, resident Nina Johnson was dying. Morris refused to put her oxygen back into her nose, was caught cursing in her room, and refused to reposition Ms. Johnson so that she could face her family.
Morris also faces an outstanding warrant in Chicago in connection with theft, drug possession, and child support cases.
