Three now former employees of Lubbock's State Supported Living Center face felony charges of injuring a disabled person.
Warrants for 22 year olds Lamar Perkins and Shamodrick Atkins note a September 23rd incident involving a resident with severe mental retardation, that was captured on an in-house camera.
Investigators report the video shows the pair pushing, tilting, and lifting a couch, causing the resident sitting there to fall. Nurses report the resident had a bruised arm.
State agency records show when the incident was reported, the workers were immediately removed from direct contact with residents.
Perkins was later resigned and Adkins was dismissed.
A warrant for another former State Supported Living Center worker, 20 year old Teandra McDaniel, alleges she dragged a resident under her care, on September 13th.
