Elderly Mingo County Man Allegedly Beaten
A Mingo County Sheriff's deputy arrested David Michael Roberts of Varney last week after he allegedly beat and attempted to rob 93 year old Buddy Mounts while inside Mounts' residence in Taylorville. Authorities say Mounts had been struck in the head, and his ear had been torn from his head, leaving it dangling while remaining attached by a small amount of skin.
