A Rogersville teenager has been charged with willful elder abuse after police say he assaulted his 60 year old grandmother. Police say 19 year old Johnny Skeens, 309 Western Heights Drive, Rogersville, assaulted his 60 year old grandmother, Kathy Lawson. The victim’s brother, Charles Jarvis, told police the abuse by Skeens had been an ongoing problem for the last year. Jarvis also told the Hawkins County Sheriff’s Department that his sister would not ask for help from anyone. Officers went to speak with Kathy Lawson at her home, at which time an officer noticed several obvious bruises on her arms and face. Mrs. Lawson also stated that she had a large bruise on her left leg. She told the officers that her grandson, Johnny Skeens, was responsible for the bruises.
