Topeka woman accused of mistreating two dependent adults, faces felony charges

A Topeka woman accused of mistreating two dependent adults faces felony charges.

Brooke Tiara Shinn, 20, was arrested Tuesday.

Shinn faces two felony counts of mistreatment of a dependent adult, one felony count of aggravated battery and one misdemeanor count of criminal restraint, according to a criminal complaint filed in Douglas County District Court.

Shinn is accused of inflicting “physical injury, unreasonable confinement or unreasonable punishment” upon one dependent man between Feb. 14 and Feb 16 of 2015, the complaint says. She is also accused of treating the victim in such a way that “great bodily harm, disfigurement or death could be inflicted.”

Shinn is also accused of mistreating another dependent man and restraining him in such a manner as to “interfere substantially” with his liberty between Jan. 1 and Feb. 28, 2015, the complaint says.

Shinn is no longer listed in the custody of the Douglas County Jail. She is scheduled to appear in court on at 3 p.m. May 10 for a bond appearance.

Further information was not immediately available. Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Kristen Dymacek did not immediately respond to a public information request seeking Shinn’s booking photo.
