Lizzy Mae Ferrell, 36, of Grantsville is charged with abuse of neglect of incapacitated adult, according to a criminal complaint filed in Calhoun County Magistrate Court.
West Virginia State Police responded July 22 to a home in Grantsville regarding a dog bite. The patient had injuries to the legs, arms and head.
The patient, an incapacitated adult in the care of the state, told troopers Ferrell, his caretaker, struck him in the head repeatedly with several objects, including shaving cream cans and wasp spray, the complaint said.
