Woman Charged In Elder Abuse Investigation

A Warwick Township woman has been charged after an elderly woman was found in a residence, incoherent and in need of medical intervention.

Lambton OPP say the elderly woman was found Thursday when officers went to a residence in the 6500-block of Hickory Creek Line, to help health care workers check on the wellbeing of a resident.

Police say the residence was in a state of squalor.

The victim was taken to hospital and the OPP West Region forensic identification and crime units were called in to help with the investigation.

A 50-year-old woman is charged with failing to provide the necessaries of life and is to appear in Sarnia court June 5.
