AUGUSTA, Ga. () – Authorities from the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office have apprehended a man suspected of taking advantage of his 86-year-old step-grandfather.

Medlock was arrested on a Grand Jury Arrest Warrant on these charges:

  • Exploitation and Intimidation of a Disabled Adult, Elder Person, or Resident
