A Howardwick man remains in the Donley County Jail this week facing charges of assaulting and abusing an elderly woman in his care.
Richard Dennis Polmon, age 46, was being held on two bonds of $50,000 each, following his arrest on May 10 and later arraignment by Justice of the Peace Connie Havens.
Donley County Sheriff Butch Blackburn said his office was contacted by medical officials after
an ambulance was dispatched to the residence at 414 Nocona Drive.
An investigation revealed that the 91-year-old woman had been neglected and had was suffering from unexplained bruises and other medical problems. She had also been sexually assaulted.
Polmon is charged with Injury to the Elderly and Aggravated Sexual Assault.
“The victim’s age in this case makes it ‘aggravated’ and a first degree felony,” Sheriff Blackburn said.
