A Largo man was arrested after deputies said he abused two disabled group home residents.
The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office said it began an investigation on May 2 after receiving a report that two residents were battered by an employee at Live Oak Group Home on Curlew Avenue.
Deputies said they learned that an employee, 27-year-old TC, had battered two men suffering from severe cognitive disabilities.
A witness told deputies that C grabbed a man around the head, wrapped his hands and fingers around his skull, and squeezed him for about 10 minutes. They said C knocked on the man’s head two times with a closed fist.
The witness also said C went over to another man who was lying on a couch and placed his knee on his head, pushing him down.
On Wednesday, C was arrested and taken to the Pinellas County Jail. He was charged with two counts of abuse of an elderly/disabled adult.
