LAKE COUNTY -- Two Kelseyville residents were arrested on charges of elder abuse in separate incidents during the weekend, according to reports from the Lake County Sheriff's Office (LCSO).
Deputies responded to a 9-1-1 call Friday at approximately 10:50 p.m. from Sylar Lane resident Jill Louise Mainer, 43, who reported her roommate had fallen and then hung up the phone, according to LCSO Captain Jim Bauman.
The roommate, 72-year-old Ivan Neuharth, answered when dispatchers called back. Neuharth said Mainer had ordered him to get on his hands and knees and told him she was going to kill him, according to Bauman. Neuharth did not get down on the floor, and told dispatchers Mainer had left the house with a hammer in her hand.
Mainer was booked at the Lake County Jail on felony charges of making criminal threats, disrupting a telephone line and elder abuse. Bauman said Mainer is not believed to have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and the reason for her behavior is unknown. She is held on $10,000 bail.
Afraid for her safety, Lehmann decided to pursue charges against her son, according to Bauman. Waldon was arrested pursuant to a private citizen's arrest. Bauman said there is no limit on reporting elder abuse, which is always charged as a felony during an arrest and booking
