BLOOMINGTON – A Bloomington woman has been sentenced to four years in prison for neglect for leaving her elderly brother-in-law on the floor for nearly a week after he fell.
McLean County prosecutors say Doreen Rodgers, 60, served as the caretaker for Mathias Rodgers, 78 and is the sole beneficiary of the victim’s will. Authorities say the victim was living in unsanitary conditions when they came to the home.
Doreen Rodgers pleaded guilty to criminal neglect of an elderly person.
