NY: Two Charged With Felony Elder Abuse

Two Cappahosic residents are facing felony charges in connection with the life-threatening wounds of an 87-year-old woman who was in their care and later died.

Erick Wilson, 48, and Gigi Garner, 44, have been charged with abuse and neglect of an incapacitated adult.

An investigation is continuing into the circumstances surrounding Regina Wynn's care at the hands of Wilson, her nephew, and Garner, a friend of Wilson's, said Gloucester Sheriff's Lt. Scott Little. He declined further comment.

Wilson and Garner will next appear in Gloucester General District Court on Oct. 28.

  1. If they did this, I am so glad they have been charged.

    Financial abuse by court-appointed guardians should also be classified as a felony.
