The search is now over for this missing patient from Choate Mental Health in Anna, Illinois. The Union County Sheriff s Office announced the patient was located and is in custody.
Investigators sent indictments to employees Bryant T. Davis, Teresa A. Smith and Gary K. Goins this week.
In a news release Wednesday, Bryant called it unconscionable that the three were actively working during an ongoing investigation. They have access to employees where they could influence statements that are being made by employees, Bryant told News 3 in a phone call Wednesday.
The indictments stem from a pair of Illinois State Police investigations that led to the arrest of five employees in October 2020. A month later, ISP arrested Smith.
On Monday, the Union County State s Attorney s office indicted Davis, Goins and Smith each on official misconduct, a class 3 felony. Smith received an additional obstruction of justice charge, a class 4 felony.
