A woman is charged with elder abuse after breaking into a Knoxville home.
It happened Friday night on Babelay Road. When officers arrived, the 91 year old homeowner told them that 47 year-old Jennifer Hickey had come to the front porch and threw a soda can at her, hitting her in the head.
She also told police that Hickey had knocked her down and entered the house.
She was able to make it the road and flagged down a passerby who called police who say Hickey said the house was hers now and she belonged there.
Hickey reportedly told officers she had taken Methadone earlier in the day. She is also charged with aggravated burglary.
