Charges on Robert Eugene Bradford

When asked if she wanted medical attention, he said yes, according to police. An ambulance took her to Rockledge Regional Medical Center, but an officer who tried to interview her at the hospital said she couldn’t speak to him, according to her documents. Grogan succumbed to her medical problems at the hospital on January 17, 2022, authorities said.

During the initial visit in January 2022, Bradford allegedly let police into the home to take photos of his wife’s medications. The officer noticed trash all over the floor. “There were flies everywhere and empty beer cans were stacked in the living room and kitchen area,” the officers said. “I located several medicine bottles that were all empty. Mr. Bradford previously stated that he is out of medication and needs the prescription filled.”

Police contacted Bradford again on his front lawn on February 16, 2022, as Brevard County deputies served him with an eviction notice. During a voluntary noncustodial interview, he told police he and Grogan met 15 years earlier at a medical rehabilitation center and have been together ever since, officers said.

“He is the victim’s Social Security Disability Beneficiary, which is deposited into their joint account,” police said. “The money from that is used for living expenses, food, beer and marijuana. He didn’t know how much of the money went to medical care. He believed the victim was seen by a Certified Nursing Assistant [sic] through Sunshine Health approximately one month prior to this incident. He did not stop the victim from going to the hospital. The victim had not been seen by a medical professional most recently because they could not afford a trip to Sunshine Health.”

Authorities described speaking to Grogan’s sister, who said she tried to intervene with a power of attorney, but she told police she was “informed that she was unenforceable due to her seniority.”

The sister said she made several reports to the Florida Department of Children and Families, but that she believed nothing was being done to help Grogan. “During the investigation I was able to locate two reports from the Florida Department of Children and Families,” the documents state. “The first was made on May 1, 2013 and alleged mistreatment of environmental danger; in this report, the suspect was the caregiver of the listed victim.”

The DCF investigation summary described the residence as a disaster. “Home was dirty, but not dangerous, noting roaches, dog feces, dirty floors/counters, no running water,” authorities wrote. “The suspect was unable to maintain the residence due to his own disability and the lack of running water was due to a broken water main.” A DCF adult protection investigator listed the mistreatment claim as unfounded.

A second report on July 8, 2019 followed additional allegations of “mistreatment environmental hazards” as well as mistreatment resulting in physical injury. Bradford was once again the suspect. “The suspect was arrested for aggravated assault on the victim for biting her and breaking her skin,” the investigation summary said, according to police. “The residence was dirty and had a strong smell of cigarettes. The victim said that she was not afraid of the sun.

“The suspect was arrested for aggravated assault on the victim for biting her and breaking her skin,” the investigation summary said, according to police. “The residence was dirty and had a strong smell of cigarettes. The victim said that she was not afraid of the suspect”. Another DCF investigator found the claim of environmental hazards unfounded, but noted that physical abuse needed to be intervened.

According to police, Cocoa police arrested Bradford on June 6, 2019 for domestic violence with aggravated assault. However, police said Grogan’s sister told them the victim refused to cooperate with prosecutors; she believed that was the reason the case was dropped.

Police received the autopsy report from the Brevard County Medical Examiner’s office on Nov. 17, 2022, according to the affidavit. “The report stated that the victim’s cause(s) of death were “complications of encephalopathy, protein-calorie malnutrition, and sepsis with pneumonia and necrotizing fasciitis,” according to the documents. “The report further states that the cause(s) of death were due to ‘gross negligence’ with manner of death undetermined.”

Although he was receiving Social Security money on her behalf, Bradford could not say when she last received medical care or if any of the disability payments went toward it. Police said “any reasonable and prudent person” would know that Grogan needed immediate medical help because of “obvious signs of distress”: her inability to communicate, her extremely low weight and suffering from open sores.

“The initial call for service was initiated by an anonymous female and not by the suspect who was attempting to obtain care and treatment for the victim,” the affidavit noted.Read More…….
