Caregiver Sentenced For Beating Incapacitated Woman
WEST VIRGINIA....
Twenty-six year old Natasha Grimes has been sentenced to two to ten years in prison for an attack on an incapacitated woman she was caring for. Police say she beat 29 year old Christina Starcher in the Bard Avenue, St. Albans, home where Grimes and her two children were living with Starcher. Grimes was caring for Starcher during her recuperation from back surgery. Police say, when they were called to the home on September 25th, they found Starcher lying in the doorway with cuts, bruises and missing clumps of hair. Under a plea agreement and after Grimes pleaded guilty to abuse, a charge of first-degree robbery was dropped. Police say Grimes stole prescription medications from the woman and left the house with her cell phone and debit cards.
