WOMAN INDICTED IN DEATH OF ELDERLY GARRETT COUNTY WOMAN

Swanton resident Rebecca Lee Smith has been indicted on charges related to the death of a vulnerable adult. State’s Attorney Christian Mash says she faces charges including second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, and first and second-degree neglect of a vulnerable adult. She was initially arrested in July after the elderly woman was found living in unsanitary conditions at a home on Lower White Oak Road. Smith is being held without bond at the Garrett County Detention Center.
