27-year-old Janelle Lynn Sakakihara, of Atchison, was bound over to Doniphan County District Court on three felony counts of mistreatment of a dependent adult following her preliminary hearing April 3rd.
Sakakihara also faces one count of Medicaid fraud and three counts of battery, all misdemeanors.
Arraignment was scheduled for May 8.
