The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office said that Rosa Edwards, 23, and Aneisha Xitavia Hall, 19, both of St. Petersburg, Florida were arrested and charged with two counts of battery on a person older than 65.

The investigation discovered that Edwards and Hall initiated an altercation with an elderly man living at the facility, who was pushing an elderly woman down the hall in her wheelchair.

Edwards started to whip the male resident with a lanyard while laughing, deputies said, when the physical altercation began.

Deputies noted that Hall and Edwards grabbed the man and took him down to the ground, and in the process, he held onto the wheelchair, causing it to fall on its side with the woman on board.

They need to be fired, not suspended. They shouldn’t ever be eligible to be a caretaker ever again!

Snip:
Pinellas County court records show Edwards was charged in 2021 with a count of battery on a person 65 years or older. She got into an argument with the victim and struck him in the head, causing his hat to fall to the ground, documents said.

“Post-Miranda, the defendant admitted to hitting the victim in the head using her right hand,” authorities wrote.

The disposition of the 2021 case is unclear from available online court records.

The disposition is crystal clear in Pinellas County court records:
