PANAMA CITY — A Panama City woman has been arrested after she allegedly struck her 73-year-old, wheelchair-bound mother in face numerous times, according to police reports.
Dominic Six, 48, was arrested Monday after Panama City Police responded to her 12th Court home to perform a welfare check on her mother. When officers contacted the wheelchair-bound mother, her face was scattered with blood and red marks, according to police reports.
When police asked the mother what happened, she told them her daughter had grabbed her hair and punched her in the face several times. The mother was able to escape the altercation by driving away in her wheelchair, police said.
Six was “hiding in her bed with her shoes on” when the officers entered her room, police reported.
“I would never hit her,” Six responded when asked what happened to her mother’s face.
She appeared to be intoxicated, police said.
“She had trouble comprehending the idea that I was arresting her for domestic battery on a handicapped elderly person,” the officer reported. “Ms. Six asked me four times what and why she was being arrested. Each time I answered.”
Six was taken to Bay County jail on charges of domestic battery on an elderly, handicapped person. At the jail, Six submitted to a breath test for alcohol. The results came back with a blood-alcohol content of 0.16, twice the legal limit to operate a vehicle.
Six’s response to the result was: “Well, I was not driving,” she said.
