A Murray man has been charged with elder abuse and exploitation for alleged neglect of his grandmother.
According to Murray Police Det. Angel Clere, Jason D. Burkeen, 30, has been charged with wanton elder abuse and wanton exploitation of an adult following an investigation initiated by the family of Wilma Stephenson, 72, of Murray.
An investigation of the situation began after Stephenson's sons, David and Mike Stephenson, became concerned about finding a large sum of money removed from her bank account. The sons also became concerned about their mother's health after she suffered a fall in her home.
Burkeen has been the lone caregiver for his grandmother. Officials reportedly found she allegedly had been a victim of neglect by Burkeen, the release stated.
Burkeen is lodged in Calloway County Jail.
