Nacogdoches County Jail
An East Texas woman has been sentenced for starving her 86-year-old mother to death. In a plea bargain with prosecutors, 42-year-old Melissa Broussard, of Nacogdoches, pleaded guilty to injury to the elderly and was sentenced to 40 years in prison. Prosecutors say Broussard had the means to provide her mother with health care and food but didn’t.
