SHOCKING: Ex-Nurse Assistant Adrian Wiggins, 53, has been indicted by a federal grand jury for a staggering civil rights offense. The charges stem from an incident at the Memphis Veterans Affairs Medical Center where Wiggins is accused of striking resident W.B., causing bodily injury on January 8, 2017.
Wiggins now faces a potential sentence of no more than 10 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine upwards of $250,000. The severity of the charges underscores the gravity of the offense within the hallowed walls of the VA center.
The investigation into Wiggins’ alleged actions was spearheaded by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with Assistant U.S. Attorneys David Pritchard and Reagan Taylor, along with Trial Attorney Rachel Kincaid from the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, handling the prosecution.
It’s important to note that an indictment is merely a formal accusation, and Wiggins is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of patient care and the serious consequences that can follow when such trust is breached.
