Two people were arrested in connection with a criminal case involving an elderly person after the police believed they were abusing and stealing money from the man.
According to reports, last November, an elderly man who was residing in a nursing home and receiving medical care was released into the custody of a 58-year-old man, despite the facility warning that the move would likely cause his health to suffer. Approximately five months later, the authorities were notified about a situation involving possible domestic violence, and the police were sent to the home where the former patient was currently residing. When they arrived and approached the residence, they reported that a man and woman were standing at the front door and yelling at each other. They soon learned that the argument was about the elderly man, who was reportedly found in poor physical health.
When they looked into the situation, the authorities reportedly discovered a record showing that the 58-year-old had taken more than $40,000 from the alleged victim’s bank accounts. They suspected he had stolen the money and that the woman was also involved in the situation.
