NASHVILLE, Tenn. -

A former adult caregiver was indicted and arrested last week following allegations of patient abuse.

According to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, in late January, Corey London, 24, worked for Restoration Residential Services in Madison and was caring for a 26-year-old dependent adult when he put the victim's foot into bath water so hot it resulted in a second degree burn.

London then put the patient to bed and did not seek medical attention, according to the TBI.

The injury was discovered by staff the next day and London was suspended from his position.

London was indicted by the Davidson County grand jury on one count of abuse of neglect of an impaired adult, a felony, last Tuesday and arrested.

He was booked into the Metro jail and has since been released on a $7,500 bond.
