A sheriff’s deputy in Monroe County was sent to Whispering Pines, an assisted-living home near Bolingbroke, to check on what was described as “a disturbance.” When the deputy got there on the morning of Dec. 31, he spoke to the caregiver for a 64-year-old woman who, according to an incident report, said the woman had been struck “over the head with a broomstick multiple times.”
The victim, meanwhile, was seen holding a paper towel to her head. The deputy noted that he saw blood and called an ambulance to check on her. The deputy asked where the culprit was and was directed to a room down the hall. It was there the deputy encountered a 52-year-old man who claimed the woman he’d struck with the broomstick had, according to the report, been “putting stuff in his room causing ants.”
The deputy’s write-up went on to note that “I asked how he knew she was doing that and he did not provide an answer. I asked why he hit (the woman) over the head and he laughed and said it was a good relief to his stress.” The man was arrested for battery.
