According to the affidavit, the 78-year-old victim suffered a cut to her left eye and her nose, along with a contusion to the back of her head, which was “visibly red.”
Officials said the living room had things tossed around and appeared to have been from a struggle.
The victim told officials David wanted to drive their vehicle, but she didn’t allow him to since he was not supposed to be driving.
