Newnan Police are asking for the public’s assistance in locating the person or person responsible for the attack and beating of an elderly woman Monday.

Newnan Public Officer Gina Snider said Coweta 911 on Monday received a call concerning an unknown medical problem at a Pinson Street address. The caller indicated the victim was bleeding. EMS and the Newnan Fire Dept. were dispatched to the address, Snider said. Newnan Police Dept. detectives also responded to the call.

Snider said the victim, a 90-year-old woman, was found on the floor of her bedroom. She was incoherent and unable to tell first responders what had happened to her.

Snider said the woman had injuries to her face and was bleeding from other injuries. There was evidence that she had been beaten, and assaulted with some type of sharp object, said Snider. The initial investigation found evidence that force had been used to enter her house.

The victim was transported to Piedmont Newnan Hospital, where she was treated for her injuries and evidence obtained to determine if she had been sexually assaulted.

The victim’s family is offering a reward to anyone that provides information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the assault.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Det. Sgt. Rick Mires or Deputy Chief Rodney Riggs at (770) 254-2355, ext 118 or 133. May also call Newnan Police Department Tip Line, (770)254-2350.
