Waverly woman indicted in quadriplegic brother's death

Posted:
WAVERLY, Tenn. -

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation arrested a Humphreys County woman Wednesday for criminally negligent homicide after she was indicted for her role in her brother's death last year.

Sarah Redmond, 29, was arrested in McEwen and booked into the Humphreys County Jail on $2,500 bond.

The district attorney general requested the TBI investigate the death of 40-year-old Herbert Carl Redmond when he died last October.

According to the TBI, Sarah was Herbert's primary caregiver for three years before his death.

He was a quadriplegic who could not care for himself.  She administered his medications and did not follow dosage instructions, which led to his death.

The medical examiner determined Herbert's cause of death as acute combined drug toxicity.

The Humphreys County Sheriff's Office was also involved in the investigation.
