RIVERSIDE - A 46-year-old man is behind bars today on suspicion of elder abuse and murder in the death of his 81-year-old father, according to sheriff's officials and jailers.
Charles Edward Ellsworth, 81, died Friday at a Fontana hospital "as a result of being struck several times in the head'' by his son, Michael Thomas Ellsworth at his residence in rural Homeland on April 15, sheriff's and coroner's investigators said.
Michael Ellsworth was arrested at 3:30 p.m. Friday by Perris deputies and booked about 7 p.m. at Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside, according to jail records. He was held on no bail because of an unspecified parole violation, a jail spokeswoman said. His bail on the elder abuse and murder charges was $1 million.
