Delegate Mike Cherry of Colonial Heights addressed recent arrests at the Colonial Heights Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. In a statement, he mentioned his conversation with State Health Commissioner Dr. Karen Shelton about the twelve arrests made at the facility.

"The Virginia Department of Health has staff on the ground to ensure that all residents are receiving proper care and will remain involved to ensure that the proper individuals are placed in leadership positions moving forward," said Delegate Cherry. He assured that he would keep track of developments over the next weeks and months.

The situation has prompted health authorities to engage closely with the center to safeguard resident welfare and oversee future management changes.
