St. Albans Caregiver Pleads Guilty To Abuse
WEST VIRGINIA....
Natasha Michelle Grimes, 26, of St. Albans has pleaded guilty to abuse. Grimes has been in jail since September 25th when she attacked 29 year old Christina Starcher of St. Albans, for whom Grimes worked as a caregiver. Police, responding to a call about a possible assault at an Oak Street apartment, found Starcher lying in the doorway of her home. Authorities say Grimes beat Starcher with her fists, dragged her off a couch and held her down with her leg across her neck while she was recuperating from back surgery. Starcher suffered cuts and bruises on her face, neck and arms and was missing clumps of hair after the incident. Grimes was also charged with first-degree robbery after police say she attempted to steal prescription pain medications from the woman and left the home with her cell phone and two debit cards. Under Thursday's plea agreement, the robbery charge was dismissed. Grimes faces to 2 to 10 years in prison when sentenced December 1st.
