KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) - An elderly couple is recovering Tuesday after they were brutally beaten inside their south Kansas City home.
The woman was also raped, according to a police report.
Tony L. Putman, 18, of Kansas City was charged with six felonies Tuesday afternoon. The charges include one count of rape and two counts of robbery.
The couple's ordeal began about 1:30 p.m. Monday when a man broke into their home near 73rd Street and Campbell Avenue. Entry was gained through a basement window, which was broken.
The 93-year-old man was home alone when the suspect began to ransack the house and attacked him, police said.
Putman hit the man in the face and bound him with belts, according to court documents.
In the meantime, the man's 84-year-old wife came home. She had been at the bank where she had gotten $400.
Police said the woman came into the house and heard her husband moaning.
"She went upstairs to check on him and she met his attacker," according to court documents. "He bound her hands and demanded money. She gave him $5."
After forcing the woman upstairs, the man took $400 from her she had just received from the bank. He then raped her, according to court documents. Putman allegedly also stole jewelry from the home.
After the 93-year-old man broke free, he discovered his wife crumpled in a heap on the floor.
"You see all that stuff in the news and then the next thing you know it happens to your family," said Chris Garcia, who is married to the couple's daughter. "It's just a horrible thing that someone would do something like that to two elderly people."
After receiving a description of the stolen vehicle, police kept an eye out for it. Just before 3 p.m., police became involved in a short chase with the driver. Three people inside the car were taken into custody but ultimately not charged.
"I did it all," Putman allegedly told police when he was taken into custody. "They had nothing to do with anything."
Putman cut his arm while breaking in and blood evidence was obtained at the scene, according to court documents.
At police headquarters, Putman denied being at the couple's home. He said his mother gave him the jewelry and he found the stolen car at 74th Street and Troost Avenue.
Putman claimed he injured his wrist while wrestling with a cousin.
His mother denied giving him the jewelry and his cousin denied injuring him while wresting. One of those in the car with Putman had $362 in cash on him when he was arrested, but said his mother gave it to him.
"We're just lucky that they were able to catch up to those people before they did any harm to anybody else," Garcia said.
The couple was treated at an area hospital and released Monday night.
Prosecutors are seeking a $200,000 bond. A judge has not set bond yet.
If Obama had a son, he ... oh, never mind. Half of black America doesn’t even see how what this piece of excrement did is wrong. And a significant percentage of the other half tend to believe whitey deserves this evil behavior by these ‘temporarily misguided yutes’. Welcome to the little barry bastard commie Amerika of Eric the racist Holder.
amish....again.
Unfortunately, no death penalty for rape anymore. This probably won’t go to trial, and he will plea out. We will be paying for this oxygen stealer to sit in prison, get a degree, workout till he is an olympian athlete and then he will still be relatively young when he is released.
And he WILL reoffend.
There is no justice, there is only a judicial system.
I saw the headline, and made an educated guess. I scrolled down and saw i was right. Sickening. This will have to be stopped one day.
If Obama had a son, he would look like lil Tony.
Isn’t that one of nobama’s “sons”?
I’ve got several 1911s...I just got a few boxes of DRT 45 ACP ammo....said to be one of the nastiest wound creating rounds there is. The head would be a stump. Copper clad, compressed powder frangible ammo. Upon entry the metalized powder in solid form reverts to a complete powder dispersal.
It’s good to catch this particular animal, as Garcia said, but the problem is that these post cultural animals are everywhere. But for the grace of God, there goes Trayvon, or any number of the thugs Obama would call his kids. Try to kill this arrogant piece of feces, and it will rain civil rights lawyers.
The best thing civil society, decent people of all colors and ethnicities can do is prepare to kill these predators when they come to do harm, and they are coming to all of us. Don’t let the left disarm you. The next time a leftist radical asks why people need semi auto, rifles and high capacity clips, ask him or her how many rounds it would take to stop a gang of these thugs, or rioting criminals.
Of course, everyone will talk about how "misunderstood" he is.
Sounds to me that would clean a perps ears better than “Q-Tips”!
Forgot to mention they are hollow points. Reports indicate that on the right target - meat, it is very nasty - wound so large an immediate loss of blood lowers the blood pressure causing termincal shock ....you can’t check it out on the range with a paper target or some hard surface, either.....I can’t afford a side of beef so I’ll have to trust the manufacturer until something appropriate presents itself.
Oh my God. For the first time in my life I’m really, truly afraid of the future. All those “strong” single mother’s in the 90s raised a generation of feral monsters.
That boy needs to have his head on a pike.
Same haughty righetous narcissistic eyes of Trayvon and Obama. These people have no shame or have a real problem with reality.
This is what secularism brings you. Once you do not discuss morals and ignore these things, you cannot have a personal barometer of mental health on yourself, you just do not care of how you trash the place and people around you, or how you degenerate.
A society like this turns people into worse than animals, but something akin to a rabid animal with vinegar instead of blood in their brains. IT’s not even an animal with a healthy brain, it’s something unrecognizable and glad to die simmering in its juices and drugs.
Make that - All those “strong” single black mother’s in the 90s raised a generation of feral monsters. Violent crime is overwhelmingly a black phenomenon.
Tony Putnam is fortunate it wasn’t my family members he did that too.
Cause I can firmly say in or out of Jail if it had been, Justice would be served.
Yep, his head is a pulp already. IT’s gone. The secular can keep running on acid doing secular things, but a religious or brain that runs on morals can easily understand when the chemicals up there are fine or not, because the awareness of the behavior will befit, and the care will occure as a result.
WElfare recipients can keep smoking and shooting up while they have cancer and AIDS. There is no stopping this because of the way welfare is dispensed and creates these types and their generations.
How very sad. Anyone that would do this is a savage and needs to be put down.
If only Romney hadn’t worked at Bain once and then
Bain closed GST steel in KC. I don’t think Romney understands, or even cares about the long term impacts of closing businesses! If he hadn’t closed that plant, then this poor Amish thug would have been working and would not have been forced to rob, rape and terrorize his fellow human beings.
