Authorities were looking for a 21-year-old man early Friday in connection with an attack on his grandparents in their home south of Celina.
The Collin County Sheriff’s Department was called about 4:30 a.m. for what originally was reported as a stabbing. When deputies arrived at the home on County Road 90, they found the elderly victims had been struck “an unknown number of times with a wooden dowel,” Lt. John Norton said.
Fred Green, 74, was transported to Presbyterian Hospital of Plano with what Lt. Norton said were described as superficial wounds. Willie Green, 78, was flown by air ambulance to Baylor Medical Center in Dallas with more serious injuries. Her condition was not immediately known, Lt. Norton said.
“There was another person who lives at the residence and actually called us but she was not involved in the assault … and was not injured,” he said.
Authorities quickly zeroed in on the grandson, who lives at the residence and has been arrested at least five times on various assault charges. Lt. Norton said sheriff’s deputies had responded at least 15 times to the residence since 2002 on various disturbance and violence calls.
The suspect was believed to be driving Fred Green’s 2004 F350 white pickup, license plate 88B-BG5.
