\nTwo men who were on duty during the hours leading up to the January 11 death of 16 year-old Gynnya McMillen at Lincoln Village Juvenile Detention Center in Elizabethtown were indicted Thursday by a Hardin County grand jury.<\/p>\n
Reginald Wyndham and Victor Holt each were indicted on one count of second-degree official misconduct, a Class B misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $250.<\/p>\n
Wyndham’s employment was terminated at Lincoln Village early in the investigation into McMillen’s death.<\/p>\n
John Tilley, secretary of the state Justice Cabinet said Wednesday during a news conference two Lincoln Village employees were still on leave, one had resigned and three others face suspension.<\/p>\n
Commonwealth’s Attorney Shane Young said the charges stem from “missed bed checks” on McMillen. He said he scheduled the cases against them two weeks ago to be presented to a grand jury.<\/p>\n
Young said there was nothing the two did “that led to her death or that her death could be prevented” by them. He said the indictment reflects their role as a public employee and their responsibility to do their job.<\/p>\n
McMillen died in her sleep from a rare heart condition known as sudden cardiac arrhythmia according to her autopsy report. She was sent to Lincoln Village January 10 after a physical altercation with her mother and her mother’s male friend.<\/p>\n
Hardin County Attorney Jenny Oldham said Wyndham and Holt should make district court appearances in the next few weeks.
