A Spring caretaker in the is facing a felony charge after investigators say she left two disabled adults without proper supervision for several hours.
According to court documents, Margarete Scott, 26, has been charged with abandoning an elderly or disabled individual.
Two disabled adults were living in the home at the time, though their identities are not being disclosed.
The charge stems from an incident alleged to have occurred on April 18 at an apartment complex in the 2500 block of Spring Cypress Road in Spring.
Investigators allege Scott intentionally left a disabled individual at the residence without necessary care for several hours.
Authorities say Scott had been working as a full-time caretaker for an organization identified in court records as “SugarHeart” for over a year prior to the incident.
Scott was arrested at 2:42 a.m. on April 18, according to jail records. She has since posted bond, which was set at $15,000.
Scott is scheduled to appear in court on April 20 at 9 a.m.
