Carer is caught red-handed putting BLEACH in disabled patient’s drink as he’s confronted by furious family
A Louisiana carer has been caught on camera mixing bleach into his patient’s drink.
Video shared by the disabled victim’s furious family shows Reginald Wilson, 30, pouring the bleach into a bottle on Monday in Lake Charles.
After seeing the video, the family confronted Wilson and he confessed, police told WCTV.
Footage shows Wilson dressed in black scrubs while mixing the bleach into the bottle while standing in the victim’s kitchen.
He then walked into the living room where the victim was watching television.
‘Here, drink this,’ Wilson said as he handed the bottle to the victim.
The patient later told police he could taste bleach in the bottle.
Wilson, who worked for a company called Heaven on Earth, now faces charges of mingling harmful substances, cruelty to persons with infirmities and aggravated battery.
