“We can confirm that a charge has been filed with the Custer County Sheriff’s Office that Mr. Amos could be a victim of a crime‘ said Smith. “We are thoroughly investigating that claim and have consulted with our partners at the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Human Services.”
“We have also been in contact with Mr. Amos and his attorney.”
Smith pointed out that the state of Colorado has no crime title “elderly abuse” but provided a list of other violations that could fall under that umbrella. Those charges include criminal negligence, assault, robbery, theft, neglect by a janitor, assault and exploitation.
