Two Mercer County
State Police were contacted, last
week, when the victim was treated at Princeton
Community Hospital
When questioned, the man told
troopers his caregivers were physically abusing him because he, on occasion,
accidentally wets the bed. He claimed he’d been beaten with spoons,
cooking pans and belts and, following the abuse, would be put into a shower
where cold water was dumped on him.
The accused are Patina Hypes, 48,
and David Small, 34.
They’re charged with abuse and
neglect to an incapacitated adult and conspiracy to commit bodily injury.
