Odd News: Old Lady Cane Beating
79-Year-Old Woman Charged in Cane Attack Associated Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -
A 79-year-old woman has been charged with using her wooden cane to strike police officers who arrived at her home to check on her welfare.
St. Joseph County prosecutors said the officers came to investigate a possible domestic abuse charge against Betty Chambers' live-in caretaker, Thomas Holleman, 57. As the officers tried to handcuff Holleman, Chambers allegedly struck Officer Lonny Foresman over the head with her cane, prosecutors said.
Foresman suffered a mild concussion while Sgt. John Pavlekovich suffered a separated shoulder and hand injury, said Jaimee Thirion, a spokeswoman for St. Joseph County police.
Prosecutors charged Chambers and Holleman on Tuesday with resisting law enforcement and battery. "This is a serious concern because police are there to protect all of us," said St. Joseph County Prosecutor Michael Dvorak.
A phone number listed under Chambers' name at her address had been disconnected.
