50+ officers raid mental health hospital after patient found in freezer, other disturbing claims
Police spent hours searching and seizing patient records and computers, as well as interviewing workers at the administrative office. Detectives said they believe they will find evidence of dozens of crimes.
“This is a very large-scale investigation,” said Gwinnett County Police Spokesperson Michele Pihera.
Officials brought their own truck and van for all the evidence they expected to find.
Authorities said they are looking into complaints of abuse, over-drugging and fraud at the facility owned by Acadia Healthcare.
“It appears all the employees are cooperative, they all understand why we are here,” Pihera said.
