Two former workers at the Southeast Arkansas Human Development Center in Warren have been arrested on felony abuse charges after a scuffle last year with an intellectually impaired resident, according to Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge.
A video recording shows Jimmie Bradley of Maumelle and Nicholas Stephens of Monticello, both 32, holding the 50-year-old resident down while Bradley walked on the resident’s legs and stomped on or near him, according to investigators’ affidavits.
The video also reportedly shows Bradley use his elbow “in a striking motion” four times while the resident is face-down on the floor.
Both men were fired after the Aug. 25 altercation, the affidavits say.
