AUSTIN -- Two West Texas women have been charged in separate cases involving their treatment of the elderly, officials said Wednesday.

The Texas Attorney General’s office announced that Alexy Denice Lampe, 32, of Haskell, was charged with third-degree felony injury to an elderly person after she gave a disabled woman an enema using tap water that was as hot as 115 degrees. The woman suffered second-degree burns.

The incident happened at a nursing home in Knox City where Lampe worked as a licensed vocational nurse. The attorney general’s office said two nurses aides had warned Lampe that the water was too hot for the delicate procedure.

Lampe, who turned herself in to authorities in Haskell on Tuesday, was indicted Oct. 19 by a Knox County grand jury.

Attempts Wednesday to locate her or an attorney who is representing her were unsuccessful.

In the second case, Sweetwater resident Debra Pugh Doss, 45, was indicted Oct. 18 by a Nolan County grand jury on felony forgery charges for a scheme in which she co-signed Social Security checks belonging to residents at a health care facility in Roscoe.

Doss, the facility’s former office manager, allegedly cashed checks totaling about $25,000 and is also accused of forging current and past facility administrator’s signature on petty cash and residential trust fund checks, which were made payable to her name.

Doss was arrested Tuesday at her current job. She released from the Taylor County Jail late Tuesday after posting $5,000 bond. Attempts to find an attorney representing her were unsuccessful Wednesday.
