The charges stem from allegations that Moore used syringes to inject a clear and unlabeled substance into the women, causing at least one Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, MRSA is a cause of staph infection that is difficult to treat because of resistance to some antibiotics.

Moore’s bond was set at $170,000 for the four combined charges.

Officials said the bond was determined by the evidence in this case and the fact that Moore was on deferred adjudication for a 2021 arrest for assault on a family member impeding breath in Galveston County.
