An 84-year-old man was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting an officer after he cursed at the office manager of the Callaway Clinic and hit a Bay County Sheriff’s Office deputy with his cane.
The deputy responded to the clinic at about 8:45 p.m. Wednesday and found the man yelling and cursing as loudly as he could at the office manager, according to the report. The deputy reported he told the man to stop several times, but he refused.
The office manager told the deputy she wanted the man removed from the premises and that he had been an ongoing problem for the business. Once outside, the deputy reported the elderly man started yelling at him and cursing louder than he did inside. The deputy then told the man he would be arrested if he did not leave the property and the elderly man struck him in the stomach with his cane.
As the deputy grabbed his arm and placed him in handcuffs, he reported the suspect put the cane in his other hand and began hitting him in the leg with the cane while yelling and cursing. The deputy put the man against the wall and was able to take him into custody, though he continued to struggle, according to the report.
The man reportedly continued to yell and curse during the drive to Bay County Jail and during his booking process.
Have they checked this guy for Alzheimer’s? Seems like that might be the case. SOME elderly can be just mean though.
“SOME elderly can be just mean though.”
People at that age tend to be emotionally volatile, since they often don’t care what others think of them anymore. I think the guy who shot up the Holocaust Memorial (James von Brunn) is a classic example. He probably was consumed with rage for years and finally exploded at the age of 87 when he figured that he didn’t have that much time left. Von Brunn’s own son admitted that he had always been a miserable SOB.
Others like Jimmy Carter don’t vent their anger with a gun; they just become progressively more nasty in their public statements as they get old.
REALLY???? Common sense has taken a vacation... handcuffing elderly and treating them as THREATS??? Completely over the top... disgusting.
Another good example right there. I was going to mention her in my earlier post, but forgot.
Heck, George Carlin turned into an angry old man his last years, too (and he was only 71 when he died). When he did stand-up routines, he would just attack anyone and anything and not care what others thought. Not that he ever had too many qualms about offending people, but he got a lot worse towards the end.

In the case of James von Brunn, I’d say he was very much of a threat.
Too old to take an a** whippin' so he'll just kill ya.
If the old timer screamed louder outside,then he didn’t “scream as loud as he could” inside. The writer is a nitwit as well as the deputy.
“As the deputy grabbed his arm and placed him in handcuffs, he reported the suspect put the cane in his other hand and began hitting him in the leg with the cane while yelling and cursing.”
Ah yes ... a clinic. Obama-scare?
George C was ‘kinda’ funny for a while - in the end he just came across like a bitter old man - angery at everything and everybody.
Had to imagine going thru life like that....
“As the deputy grabbed his(the suspect's right vs left) arm and placed him the suspect in handcuffs, he (Name of officer) reported the suspect put the cane in his other (Right vs left) hand and began hitting him in the leg with the cane while yelling and cursing.”
"In handcuffs" isn't right, either, I don't think... Maybe later....or...not...

Ok, after a good night's rest, here it is:
In an off-the-cuff remark, the deputy said that the actions by the elderly man were hard to stomach.
This version is different than the pronoun challenged-hit-the deputy-in-the-leg dealie above.
Have a good day!
Very good!
I had a boss in a restaurant who was hit by an old lady with a cane. Reason? No ketchup packets if I recall. I believe she was there after going to church. He was a good sport about it. That’s an American gentleman.
He was at an Obama-clinic. See how great health-scare is now?
