We will not tolerate this sort of terrible behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe FBI works closely with our federal, state, and local partners to investigate any type of civil rights violation,\u201d said Michael Schneider, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Dallas Division. \u201cThe victim was unfairly prevented from receiving the care she was entitled to under the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the plea agreement, Keith was working on June 13, 2017, as a Direct Service Provider at the San Angelo State Supported Living Center, a state-run facility. K.B. was a resident of the facility. Keith admitted to kicking K.B. in the face without legal justification and for the purpose of punishing her.

The maximum statutory sentence prescribed by Congress is provided here for information purposes, as the sentence will be determined by the court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesa Keith, 37, pleaded guilty yesterday to violating the civil rights of a resident at the San Angelo State Supported Living Center in San Angelo, Texas, announced Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband of the Department of Justice\u2019s Civil Rights Division, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Erin Nealy Cox, and Michael Schneider, Acting [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5409,"featured_media":128527,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":[]},"categories":[54],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Former assisted living employee pleads guilty to kicking patient in the face - Breaking911<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/breaking911.com\/former-assisted-living-employee-pleads-guilty-to-kicking-patient-in-the-face\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Former assisted living employee pleads guilty to kicking patient in the face - Breaking911\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Tesa Keith, 37, pleaded guilty yesterday to violating the civil rights of a resident at the San Angelo State Supported Living Center in San Angelo, Texas, announced Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband of the Department of Justice\u2019s Civil Rights Division, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Erin Nealy Cox, and Michael Schneider, Acting [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/breaking911.com\/former-assisted-living-employee-pleads-guilty-to-kicking-patient-in-the-face\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Breaking911\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Breaking911\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-05-02T17:38:10+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-05-02T17:38:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/880583d5-1131-4a0c-a368-80241d57765c-Tesa_Keith.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"T.
