WACO (September 30, 2009)—Waco police have arrested the grandson of an elderly woman who was found locked in the bedroom of a home in the 2400 block of South 2nd Street.

He was charged with injury to the elderly, police said.
The woman, whose name was not released, was unable to get out of bed on her own and was forced to lie in her own waste for some time, police said Wednesday.
