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.
Yes! He could also make for outstanding mulch.
His behavior is not that of a ‘fellow human being’. It is soemthing akin to the behavior of the father of lies, a murderer from the start. Sadly, this excrement was raised up to be that way. He started as an innocent child and his culture programmed him to be this dead soul he has become. The Palestinians chnating for Jewish blood have refined the process, so perhaps little racist barry bastard commie can get Holder to bring the training to these yutes via the flashmob tactics. We’ll see, if the racist bastard boy gets four more years with his accompanying thug henchghouls.
I remember reading back in the 80’s that we were gonna have a lot of super-sociopaths on our hands by 2010.
Amoral sociopaths. They lack a conscience and if they're caught, the only people they feel sorry for are themselves. It comes in some part from the bone deep sense of entitlement that Democrats foster in the black community, but it also comes from the double standard in which society holds blacks. Black criminals can commit the most horrific crimes and it's swept under the rug, but let some non-black kill on of their precious tugs, and you get a full blown Treyvon going.
The most visible representatives of the black community go around perpetually offended even when they're looking for something to be offended by. They carry a chip on their choulder the size of Sheila Jackson Lee Texas, and if you don't knock it off they will and say you did.
“Putzman is an argument for bringing back public humiliation as a deterrent and public hangings as both a deterrent and a final solution.”
I would add, sell tickets for the hanging and turn over the proceeds to the victims’ families. That would be after they are left alone with the handcuffed criminal and a pair of rusty scissors.
Yes, I remember that too now. The experts said we would have super predators and that’s exactly what we got.
Have you gotten an answer why this was moved to chat? It should, at the very least, be in Front Page news but really in Breaking News!!!
I figure they look at this as the rest of the MSM does.
Another black on white crime (yawn)
Nothing to see here. Move on. Best not to make a big deal over this.
Besides there are “Caption this...” threads and funny Youtube videos that need to be in News/Activism.
Unreal!!! Very disturbing that this is happening on FR.
Like Romneys famous chick fil-a dodge:
“It’s not part of our campaign....”
