BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office arrested 74-year-old Merle Krimsky after she allegedly entered an area assisted living facility and attacked her 88-year-old husband and his aide. According to an arrest report, Krimsky “elbowed” her husband “above the right eye one or two times” after pushing the aide who tried to block access to the man.

The police report — which we are not at this time publishing — states there is a court order prohibiting Krimsky from entering the assisted living facility without supervision.

Krimsky was charged with battery on a person 65 years of age or older, “crimes against person — abuse (of the) elderly or disabled without great bodily harm,” and “battery — touch or strike.”

Krimsky was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail early Thursday morning where, as of 10:30 ET (March 5, 2020) she remains.
