Fayette County Officials: Live-In Caregiver Assaults 71-Year-Old Man And Steals His Car
FAYETTE COUNTY (KDKA) -- Officials arrested a woman in Fayette County for allegedly assaulting a 71-year-old man, and it was not the first time she's been in trouble with the police.
The man was allegedly attacked and beaten by his live-in caregiver, 49-year-old Tammy Lynn Price.
"Just to get around with a walker was pretty hard to do," the Masontown police chief said of the man.
When officials arrived, they found the man bleeding heavily from his face and chest.
A bite mark on his arm was also bleeding, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably.
Price fled the scene with the victim's car, officials said.
The 71-year-old man is still in the hospital.
"We called and got Adult Protective Services involved. .. They are trying to find a place for him to go," the chief said.
Price previously spent six months in prison after she pleaded guilty to misdemeanor child endangerment in 2015.
Price left her 1-year-old son in a hot car for several hours while she went inside a Fayette County bar.
Price is now in the Fayette County Jail and charged with aggravated assault, simple assault and unauthorized use of a vehicle.
