Today, Antonio Serraon, 55, from Warren, was arraigned in the 43rd District Court in Madison Heights. The arraignment took place before Magistrate Michael G. Mitchell. Serraon faces charges of placing misleading or inaccurate information in medical records or charts and unauthorized practice of a health profession. Both charges are felonies, as announced by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.

The case stems from an incident on December 13, 2023, at Mission Point of Madison Heights, a nursing home where Serraon worked. A disabled resident reportedly fell and hit his head on the floor. Serraon is accused of falsifying documentation regarding follow-up care that allegedly never occurred. It is also alleged that prior to the fall, he administered a controlled sedative to the resident without proper authorization. The resident later died from injuries related to the fall.

Attorney General Dana Nessel commented on the situation: “Unlawful conduct by a healthcare provider is deeply concerning—particularly when it directly compromises patient safety,” she said. “Patients and their families, as well as other healthcare providers, trust nurses to perform their critical duties within the boundaries of professional standards and the law. Falsifying records or administering medication in a manner not prescribed increases serious harm to patients. My office remains committed to holding healthcare providers who engage in such misconduct accountable.”

The Madison Heights Police Department initially investigated the incident and contributed to building this case.

Serraon's next court appearances are scheduled for March 19 at 11:00 a.m., for a probable cause conference, and April 2 at 8:00 a.m., for a preliminary examination before the same court.

The Attorney General’s Health Care Fraud Division (HCFD) is managing this case for the Department. The HCFD serves as Michigan's federally certified Medicaid Fraud Control Unit and receives substantial funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under a grant totaling $5,703,460 for fiscal year 2025. The State of Michigan provides additional funding amounting to $1,901,152.

It is important to note that all criminal proceedings start with charges that are merely allegations; defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
