GREENE COUNTY, TN (WJHL) – A former Greene Valley Developmental Center employee returned to Greene County last night and is now free on bond, according to Greene County Sheriff Pat Hankins.
The sheriff’s office booked 21-year-old Alysia Ann Prater into the jail last night after officers brought her back from Sumter, South Carolina.
Greene County grand jurors indicted Prater on a felony charge of abuse of a dependent adult charge earlier this month.
The indictment is the result of our Community Watchdog investigation.
A 2014 internal investigation revealed Prater reportedly slapped a woman with an intellectual disability in the face with a shoe. The Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities alerted police of the incident, but at the time, law enforcement did not file charges. Prater resigned as a result of the internal investigation, according to DIDD.
Sheriff Hankins says Prater posted $10,000 bond upon arriving back in Greene County. She is due in court on May 6.Copyright WJHL 2016. All rights reserved.
