Former caregiver charged in Parkville abuse case
Posted 6/19/09
A 55-year-old former caregiver has been charged with abuse of a vulnerable adult at a Parkville group home for the developmentally disabled.
State Attorney General Douglas Gansler announced Friday that Aboyomi Oluwanioie Ogundeyi, 55, of Harford Road, a former caregiver at the group home, was charged by a Baltimore County grand jury with abuse of a vulnerable adult in the first and second degree, first and second degree assault and other charges at a group home run by the Center for Community Integration.
The attorney general’s office said Ogundeyi was a paid caregiver, caring for a developmentally disabled man who resided at the group home in the unit block of Ripplebrook Court in Baltimore County.
Ogundeyi will be arraigned on July 8 in Baltimore County Circuit Court. He is currently incarcerated in the Harford County Detention Center on unrelated charges, according to the attorney general’s office.
Of the charges, the first-degree assault charge carries the stiffest potential penalty — up to 25 years in prison. The other charges carry combinations of prison terms and/or fines ranging from two to 10 years and $2,500 to $10,000.
The case was investigated by the attorney general’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit in conjunction with the Baltimore County Police.
