Two people from Rodeo have been arrested for their alleged part in an elder abuse case that left one man dead.
The nearly year-old case began July 1 when emergency personnel responded to a medical call for Charles Frank, 62, Vallejo police said in a statement issued Thursday.
Frank, a dependent adult, was living in an unlicensed board and care home in the 200 block of Mica Drive, police said.
Frank died of his injuries, and a subsequent autopsy by the Solano County Coroner's Office found evidence of severe neglect, police said.
The exact nature of the injuries is unclear.
Vallejo police and the state Department of Social Services Community Care and Licensing Division launched an investigation. The Solano County District Attorney's Office issued a warrant for the arrest of the care home manager and business owner, police said.
Wednesday, police arrested Patricia Ronquillo, 42, and Gene Bambao, 43, on suspicion of dependent adult abuse involving death.
The two were booked into Solano County Jail on $25,000 bail each, according to jail records.
Vallejo police expect more arrests in the case. Anyone with information can call detectives Theodore Postolaki or John Whitney at 707-651-7146 or 800-488-9386. Anonymous tips can be left at 707-644-STOP (7867).
