According to the incident report, a staffer noticed swelling on Warran's leg and notified a supervisor. When Ogunkunle was question, authorities said he told a story that "inconsistent" with Warren's injuries. .

However, after Ogunkunle's story didn't match the nurse's account of what happened, Ogunkunle wrote a statement. In it, he said that he went into Warren's room to get her ready for breakfast. .

He said that Warren became combative and tried to kick him. He wrote that he held her legs together to keep from being kicked and heard a "crack" from her leg and said she began to scream in pain. .

Ogunkunle told his supervisor that he didn't tell the truth originally because he was scared he'd get into trouble, according to the incident report. The supervisor called police. .

The police department requested the GBI's assistance in the case and, on Thursday, the agency announced their findings - that Warren intentionally caused the elderly woman's injury.
