The case three local women have brought against Public Administrator Robyn Gray and former Brent B. Tinnin Administrator Patty Craig has been sent to the Missouri Supreme Court for reassignment to another court.
Judge Michael Randazzo ordered the case to be sent for reassignment on Feb. 13. The local court has recused itself from the case. Angela Brown of Redford, Deanna Turner and Emily Goldsborough of Ellington filed a suit against Gray and Craig in November after they were barred from visiting residents at the local nursing home and doing crafts with residents. They allege that the residents sustained mental abuse and that residents funds were mismanaged. Several of the residents of the nursing home are wards of the public administrator.
Craig is no longer at the nursing home. She was replaced as administrator several weeks ago.
Both Gray and Craig asked the court to dismiss the case. On Feb. 5, Brown, Turner and Goldsborough filed a six-page opposition for dismissal with the court. In that document, they ask for Gray’s removal as public administrator. They are questioning expenses shown on annual reports and how the wards’ money was spent by the nursing home administrator, and why family members are not allowed to visit without permission from the public administrator. According to the court paperwork, they allege that golf clubs were purchased for a nursing home resident who is in a wheelchair, cigars were purchased for a women who does not smoke. They are also asking that Gray be removed as public administrator for Theresa Combest and Mary Grubb and Deanner Turner be assigned be assigned to be in charge of the two wards.
Inside of dismissing the case, Judge Randazzo did not make that decision. At the current time, a new court to hear the case has not been assigned.
