BY KEVIN GRAY 18 MARCH 2009 The Osawatomie Police Department investigated a possible case of elder abuse or mistreatment of a dependant adult Monday. “The Osawatomie police became aware of the situation at approximately 12:45 p.m. and served a search warrant at the residence and worked late into the night collecting evidence,” Tewes said. “A suspect has been taken into custody. His name and relationship are being withheld pending review by Miami County Attorney David Miller. The investigation is ongoing,” Tewes said.
An 89-year-old female was transported by Miami County EMS to an area hospital from her residence at 607 First Street for treatment and evaluation, said Osawatomie Fire Chief DuWayne Tewes.
The police received support from the Osawatomie City Fire Department in the form of lighting and shelter, Tewes said.
