West Virginia Caregiver Sentenced
WEST VIRGINIA....
A West Virginia caregiver has been sentenced to 90 days of home confinement. Brandon Dewayne Watts, 27, of Dunbar had pleaded guilty to one count each of neglect of an incapacitated adult and battery after being accused of leaving the woman he was hired to care for bound in his vehicle for more than an hour. Watts was arrested April 27th after Dunbar Police Lt. Bill Moss found a 26-year-old unresponsive woman with her hands bound with clear tape in a vehicle parked near Watts' home. Moss said he also found a knot on the back of her head. Watts told Moss he worked for ResCare as the woman's caregiver, and he tied her hands together because she sometimes became violent while he was driving. He claimed she had only been in the car alone for seven minutes, but he later admitted the woman had been in the vehicle for more than an hour and that he was angry with the woman and bound her hands.
