Monday morning at 10:21, a Paris officer responded to the 800-block of Deshong Drive and took a report of an Assault Against the Elderly or Disabled. A worker stated that she had witnessed an older woman be hit in her head by her caretaker-her sister. The victim said that the hit did not hurt. The officer did not observe any signs of injury. Neither sister was upset with the other. Officers notified the Adult Protective Services, and they will review the video footage when available.
At 1:25 Monday afternoon, an elderly female victim told a Community Service Officer that she may have been a victim of Fraud. She received a phone call, and they said her Medicare card was about to expire and asked for her card number, which she provided. The victim began to wonder why Medicare would ask for her card number. The caller wanted to send the victim medical products. The victim felt uneasy, refused any products, notified Medicare, and will be receiving a new card.
The Paris Police Department responded to 86 Calls for Service, arrested seven adults, and made 12 traffic stops on Monday (Jun 5).
