BISMARCK, N.D. (KFGO) – A certified nurse aide has been convicted of aggravated assault and reckless endangerment at a nursing home in Valley City.
Attorney General Drew Wrigley said while she worked at Sheyenne Care Center, Gracious Weah caused severe injuries to a patient when she performed an improper, one-person lift. Weah did not report the injury and the patient went untreated for over 12 hours.
“Weah callously committed these horrible crimes against a vulnerable adult,” Wrigley said. “I want to thank the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit for thoroughly investigating this crime and successfully pursuing justice. My thoughts are with the family of the victim, and I hope that holding Weah accountable provides them with some measure of healing.”
Weah will be sentenced on Nov. 29.
