TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WFLA) — A certified nursing assistant was arrested Thursday after law enforcement officials said he was seen grabbing a disabled adult’s neck, pushing him off his bed and onto the floor.

Attorney General James Uthmeier’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit and the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office said Logan Morrison was a former employee of Dayspring Senior Living LLC (“Dayspring”) in Hilliard, which is “an assisted living facility serving adult residents with a myriad of medical conditions, including mental health issues, who require assistance with activities of daily living.”

On April 15, 2024, investigators said Morrison was seen grabbing a disabled adult’s neck and pushing him off his bed.

Morrison’s employment file showed that he had received a two-hour preservice orientation training on resident rights, the attorney general’s office said. He was terminated from his employment after the facility’s internal investigation into the alleged incident.

“This act of violence against a vulnerable Floridian will not be tolerated,” said Attorney General James Uthmeier. “My office has zero tolerance for elder abuse. Rest assured, my office will throw the book at this offender and continue to protect those who cannot protect themselves.”

He was arrested and charged with abusing a disabled adult.
