However, while the Flagler County Sheriff's Office said that the victim did not want to pursue charges, deputies filed charges against Greendale for Battery on a Person over 65 Years of Age. He was booked and is being held with no bond allowed.
"Thankfully this woman was not more seriously injured," Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said. "Our deputies did a great job in tracking him down and taking him into custody. You should never lay angry hands on anyone, especially a 79-year old person. I am glad he is in jail and hope he learns a very valuable lesson."
