BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) — A 36-year-old employee at the Beatrice State Developmental Center has been accused of abusing one of the patients.

Shawn Ebeling, of Diller, is charged with two felony counts of abuse of a vulnerable adult stemming from reports of incidents on Aug. 9 and Aug. 21.

Ebeling’s attorney didn’t immediately return a call Monday from The Associated Press, seeking comment about the allegations against Ebeling.

On Aug. 3 a federal court ended special federal oversight of the state center for developmentally disabled people. It had been under federal scrutiny since 2006 because of a track record of failing to meet care standards and a U.S. Justice Department finding of patient neglect and abuse.
