NORTH WILMINGTON, Del. - April 16, 2008 (WPVI)
New Castle County Police arrested 46-year-old Louanna Gary, of the 2200 block of Rosewood Drive, in the community of Lancashire. She is charged with intentionally abusing an infirmed adult and causing harm to an 82-year-old male, for whom she was supposed to be providing care.
A joint investigation between the county and Attorney General's Office has revealed Gary has been responsible for taking care of the victim for the past two years. In addition to his poor medical condition, the unkempt condition of the home was also unhealthy.
Gary was arrested late Tuesday. She was arraigned and committed to the Women's Correctional Institute after failing to post $5,000 secured bail. The victim, who had been hospitalized since February 20, died this past weekend. Additional charges are pending.
