Tisdelle was charged by the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office Senior Crimes Unit with Torture (life felony), Vulnerable Adult Abuse in the First Degree (15-year felony), Unlawful Imprisonment (15-year felony), and Domestic Violence 3rd (five-year felony).
“We are committed to pursuing justice for the alleged torture and abuse inflicted upon this elderly woman. This commitment drives us to passionately advocate for the dignity and well-being of individuals who are unable to protect themselves,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
Her next court date is Monday, January 8, 2024, at 1:30 pm in Macomb County Circuit Court.
