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.

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.

I shouldn't be, but I'm laughing at this. Nice to know that there are still American gentlemen around.

Have a good day!

Risk of recidivism is very high, he’ll continue his ne’er-do-well ways as long as he’s Abel.

This type of situation will only become more common as we live longer, and dementia becomes more prevalent.

'Authorities' are going to need to undergo some additional training - hopefully including a course on Common Sense.

Arcane hardly wait.

Arcane hardly wait.

I think I've been beaten. But, the elderly guy might not have a leg to stand on if this case goes to court.

[MaggieCarta]

PS: Hits a very bad thing. (Oh, wait, was that used already?)

[SunkenCiv]

Cane tip been very obvious, or I’d have noticed.

[MaggieCarta]

LOL! I think I have to stop.

I need "arrest" from puns. Perhaps Mr Lakeshark will come out to play instead...

It seems that for some of a certain age and disposition there’s just nothing as sweet as good cane sugar.

[SunkenCiv]

I dementiand the fact that I had a few more in reserve, but there’s no point now. :’)

[MaggieCarta]

I fold. Thanks for playing!
