SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - A Sioux Falls woman is in custody, facing accusations of abuse and neglect of an 18-year-old victim with special needs.
Kimberly Marshall faces one felony count of Abuse or Neglect of a Disabled Adult or Elder.
The investigation began when bystanders called a welfare check for the victim, who was standing outside at a bus stop for nearly 2 hours in September 2025.
When officers arrived, the victim was wearing an adult diaper that reportedly smelled strongly of urine.
Police later learned from educators at the victim’s school that they required assistance from caretakers to function.
The teacher reported to officers that the victim had a feeding tube and noticed it to be unsanitary and had leftover contents.
Police also learned the victim would occasionally wear the diaper for more than one day at a time.
An arrest warrant was issued on Feb. 18, and Marshall was arrested that day.
According to online court records, Marshall’s first hearing was on Thursday, and she was released from jail without having to pay bond.
