A 55-year-old woman is accused of abusing her elderly stepmother in Orange County, according to deputies.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said CP was arrested after deputies responded to her home on Abberton Road for a well-being check. Investigators said the victim, who lived at the home, was found with contusions on her eye, chin and cheek.
According to arrest records, the call began after someone overheard P’s boyfriend threatening another person’s life. Deputies said as the victim was taken to the hospital, she eventually disclosed that she had been beaten by both P and her boyfriend, who both moved into the victim’s home shortly after the victim’s husband died.
Records allege that P kicked the woman in the ribs. Investigators also said the couple at times took the victim’s phone to keep her from making calls and, at one point, tied a rope from her bathroom door to the garage door to prevent her from leaving her room.
Court records show that deputies have been called to the home at least four times since late July for domestic-related incidents and threats.
One of those incidents appeared in a social media video showing a man confronting a door-to-door salesman. That man has not been charged with a crime related to the video or the alleged abuse.
Neighbors told WESH they had noticed increased law enforcement presence at the home in recent months but were unaware of P’s arrest.
As of Tuesday, P’s boyfriend has not been charged in connection with the case; should that change, WESH 2 will provide updates.
