Visitor Arrested for Sexual Assault at Wylie Nursing Facility

A 58-year-old man, Dudley Hammond of Louisville, KY, was arrested on December 4, 2024, for sexually assaulting a resident at Garnett Hill Rehabilitation and Skilled Care facility, located at 1420 McCreary Rd in Wylie. The arrest followed an investigation into allegations that Hammond, a visitor to the facility, engaged in a sexual act with a 59-year-old resident who lacked mental capacity.

The incident came to light after a family member of the resident installed a security camera in the room. While reviewing footage on November 28, 2024, the family member observed Hammond engaging in sexual activity with the resident’s roommate, who was unable to consent due to mental impairment. The family member immediately contacted the facility’s staff, who, in turn, notified law enforcement.

Upon arrival, Wylie police confirmed the identity of the suspect, later identified as Hammond, and began their investigation. The victim was moved from the facility by family, and officers advised the staff to notify them if Hammond returned to the premises.

Detectives discovered that Hammond was expected back at the facility on December 4, 2024, and set up surveillance. At approximately 11:04 AM, they took Hammond into custody. He was initially arrested for Indecent Assault based on the evidence from the security footage. After further questioning, additional charges were filed for Aggravated Sexual Assault due to the severity of the crime.

Garnett Hill Rehabilitation and Skilled Care facility has fully cooperated with the investigation and is conducting its own internal review. Authorities believe no other victims have been identified at this time.
