Marcee Gray was indicted Monday in Ben Hill County, Ga., for the alleged abuse of her own mom, Deborah Polhamus in November — who was bound to a chair for almost 24 hours in her Fitzgerald home, reported The New York Post quoting The Atlanta-Journal Constitution.
Gray, 43, was slapped with several charges including, exploitation and intimidation of an elderly person, false imprisonment, criminal damage to property in the second degree, and theft, the newspaper reported.
If proven guilty, Gray might face up to 20 years in prison for the top charge of felony elder exploitation.
