An Oak Grove man and woman were charged with criminal abuse of a 70-year-old man Thursday afternoon.
Oak Grove Police say they were notified of a 70-year-old man on Timberline Circle that was taken to the hospital unresponsive with signs of severe neglect, gangrene, sepsis, an open wound with bones showing, and pressure ulcers.
The investigation led police to arrest 39-year-old Ann Harrison and 43-year-old Jacob Gilstrap charging them with knowingly exploiting an adult over $300, knowingly abuse or neglect of an adult, and first-degree criminal abuse.
Police say the man remains in septic shock at the hospital with a feeding tube and has had to have bilateral leg amputations.
Gilstrap and Harrison reportedly had put themselves as a power of attorney over his banking account and removed money from his account and started a life insurance policy for him.
Police say the investigation is still ongoing and police say more charges are pending.
