A former healthcare worker in Fulton County has been indicted on an assault charge for allegedly putting a hot pepper in an elderly person’s mouth. A press release from Attorney General Jack Conway’s office states Crystal Marie Leyhue, 34, was a caregiver at the Haws Memorial Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.

The indictment stems from something that allegedly happened back in November of 2014. It says Leyhue put a hot pepper in an 82 year old resident’s mouth and laughed at their reaction, and there is apparently video evidence of this happening. Another employee at the facility says they saw what happened and reported it to her superiors. Leyhue was then fired and now faces a 4th degree assault charge.
The case is being prosecuted by Fulton County Attorney Rick Majors. She could spend a year in jail if convicted.
