AKRON, Ohio -- A Summit County grand jury has decided not to bring charges against a former Akron group home employee accused of beating a developmentally-disabled resident.

Mennyon Davis, who worked for ViaQuest, a healthcare services provider, faced charges of felonious assault and abduction. A grand jury on Wednesday declined to charge her, court documents say. The court ordered Davis released from custody, court documents say.

Two other employees face charges accusing them of beating a 20-year-old resident with a broom handle while holding him against his will in a basement, authorities said. The employees have since been fired.

The incident happened Oct. 23 at the group home on Cliffside Drive near Treeside Drive, according to a report from the Summit County Sheriff's Office. All three employees were arrested after the Summit County Sheriff's Office learned of the allegations Oct. 26.

Dominique Gladney, 23, and Octavious Thomason, 43, face charges of felonious assault and abduction. They are scheduled for a pretrial hearing Dec. 7 in Summit County Common Pleas Court, court documents say.

Gladney was a home manager at the facility and Thomason was a project manager, the sheriff's office said.

The investigation revealed employees got angry with the resident because he ate a staff member's sandwich, the sheriff's office said. Employees took him to the basement and struck him several times with a broom handle, the sheriff's office said.

Another provider has been contracted to provide services to the group home after the incident, the sheriff's office said.
