Upon arrival, deputies reported finding an elderly victim who had been beaten. The victim indicated she had been struck on the head multiple times. She was transported to the hospital for her injuries and is expected to recover, according to the MCSO.

Prior to the deputies’ arrival, the alleged attacker had left the scene but was located a short time later in Hartselle.

Additional charges are possible, according to the MCSO.
