Clayton Thomas Kelly, a 28 year old, was arrested
late this week by police and was charged for the exploitation of a vulnerable
adult, police said in a statement. Kelly is being held in the Madison County
Detention Center for his felony and is on $100,000 bond, which is surly not to
be posted by anyone. Rose Cochran is 72
years old and has lived at St. Catherine’s Village for several years. Rose has dementia which is categorized as a disorder of the
mental processes caused by brain disease or injury and is a memory disorder
with personality changes and impaired reasoning, according to Webster’s.
The
police couldn’t identify Rose Cochran as the person who was photographed at
first. An attorney named Don Clark said an unauthorized photo of Rose Cochran
was taken in her nursing home room without her permission and it was posted online
in a video to attack a Cochran. A source stated to the Cochran campaign that
the video was characterized as a political attack on Cochran.
Cochran is a democrat and has a challenger who is republican named
Chris McDaniel. The two will be voted
for on June 3. Republican challenger McDaniel
said his campaign has no connection to Kelly, who was arrested for taking the
photo without permission.
McDaniel
made a statement that he contacted Cochran and explained his empathy for him
and his grandma, stating that he was extremely sorry. McDaniel was very apologetic and stated he
had no connection or knowledge of the event occurring.
Kelly,
who was arrested, has several posts on social media, such as twitter and his
blog, attacking Cochran and the Democratic Party. He has stated several offensive comments
about Cochran and has talked up McDaniel greatly. Cochran claims not to have any ties to Kelly,
but the case is continuing to be investigated.
Also, the nursing home is upping surveillance and is on the lookout for anything
suspicious. They are also looking into
any evidence they might be able to get regarding the case.
Cochran
made a statement that he was very concerned for his wife’s security and well
being but he is sure that there will be no further issues regarding the case.
Cochran is 76 and was elected to the Senate in 1978 after six years in the House
of Representatives in Washington DC.
