A 30-year-old home health worker in Lake Charles, Louisiana, is behind bars after police say he poured bleach into a water bottle and handed it to the physically and mentally handicapped man he was paid to care for.
Reginald Andre Wilson Jr. was arrested Monday night and booked into the Calcasieu Parish Correctional Center on charges of aggravated battery, cruelty to persons with infirmities, mingling of harmful substances, and theft under $1,000. Bond was set at $70,000, according to The Advocate.

The victim is 48-year-old Marshal Huntsberry. Family members say he was struck in a hit-and-run years ago and has been unable to walk since. He is physically and mentally handicapped and cannot care for himself.
Lake Charles police say a relative living in the home called them around 7:30 p.m. Monday after Huntsberry drank from the bottle and immediately noticed it tasted like bleach. When the relative confronted Wilson, police say he admitted he put the bleach in the water.
The family posted the home security video. It is damning.
Wilson is seen walking to the laundry area, grabbing a large jug, pouring a substance into a water bottle, shaking it, and handing it to Huntsberry with the words, “Here, drink this.”
