GROVES, Texas (AP) — A Groves man is accused of beating and kicking his 100-year-old grandmother after he allegedly had been drinking.
Groves police investigator Todd Y'Barbo told The Associated Press "it's amazing that she made it."
A grand jury Thursday indicted 37-year-old Jessie Lee Anderson on felony counts of injury to the elderly and aggravated assault.
His 56-year-old sister, Katherine Basham, was also attacked.
Anderson was in the Jefferson County Correctional Facility on Friday on $50,000 bail. A jailer, who declined to provide his name, had no attorney listed for Anderson.
Y'Barbo says Basham and Anderson were arguing Oct. 12 about his drinking when she called police. Their grandmother, Alma Miller Williams, tried to break up the fight.
Both women have since recovered.
Groves is a city of nearly 15,000, located about 90 miles east of Houston.
