COOLSPRING TOWNSHIP, Pa - State police have charged an employee of a Mercer County nursing home who allegedly injured an elderly resident of the home.
Charges of assault and neglecting to care for a dependent person were held for Common Pleas Court when 60-year-old Brent Young of Mercer appeared before a district magistrate on Monday.
Young was charged following the Mercer Crime Unit’s investigation into an April 9 incident reported by the Avalon Nursing Home on Greenville Road in Coolspring Township.

Young is scheduled for arraignment in August.
