A 74-year-old Omaha man is now getting the care he needs after Omaha police remove him from his apartment.
Officers were called to check the well-being of the elderly man on Friday, May 21st, and are now investigating whether or not to cite his 50-year-old son.
According to the police reports, officers found the man in his Northwest Omaha apartment lying on the couch with cat and human feces all around the home. Officers also detail in the report trash and rotting food as well as empty bottles of alcohol throughout the place.
The alleged victim tells officers he sleeps on the couch because he can't move, and since his son injured his arm has not been able to care for him.
Officers wrote in the report the elderly man told them he had not eaten for three days.
