This past Saturday, a man was arrested after police responded to a call in Ukiah, California.
In the first incident, a man from Richmond was arrested for suspicion of beating a 70 year old man, said Mendocino County Sheriff's Capt. Kurt Smallcomb. Police were called to reports of a fight at approximately 3:00 AM and placed 46 year old Roy Crowder under arrest. Officers say that the elderly man had been punched in the face and had to receive treatment from the Ukiah Valley Medical Center.
At this time, police report that Crowder is being held for suspicion of elder abuse. His bail amount was set at $50,000.
