Hammond community home workers sentenced for abusing disabled resident on video

Attorney General Liz Murrill announced that the Louisiana Department of Justice's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit secured guilty pleas and sentences for two former employees of the Camellia Drive Community Home in Hammond for their roles in the abuse of a disabled resident and the recording of the assault.

On July 7, 2026, 23-year-old Alexis Nicole George, of South Range Road in Ponchatoula, and 27-year-old Alexis Calvreyona Brown, of Maryland Street in Hammond, each were sentenced for their roles in the abuse of a disabled resident at the Medicaid-funded facility.

Both pleaded guilty in May for their roles in the assault, the AG's office reported.

While acting as employees at the community home for individuals with disabilities, Brown repeatedly struck a disabled resident in her care. George failed to intervene, encouraged the abuse, recorded the assault on her cellphone and posted the video to Instagram instead of reporting the incident. The video ultimately led to the investigation, arrests, guilty pleas and sentences of both women.

Brown pleaded guilty as charged to one count of cruelty to the infirm.

George pleaded guilty as charged to one count each of cruelty to the infirm, abuse of persons with infirmities through electronic means and abuse and neglect of adults.
