[cynatnite]

A 65-year-old Rogersville woman remained in critical condition Tuesday after suffering severe head injuries that allegedly occurred as a result of being beaten by her son with his fists and her own crutch on May 27.

Rogersville police said the motive for the beating was a belief by the son, Kenneth Charles Gilreath, 42, 200 Arrowhead Drive, Apt. H-45, Rogersville, that his mother had taken $3.50 he was saving to use for laundry.

“The money belonged to him, and she gave her daughter $3.50 of his money that he was saving to do laundry,” Rogersville Police Department Detective Charlie Gibson said. “He snapped and assaulted her. She’s on crutches, and we didn’t actually find a weapon other than crutches.”

Gibson said the hospital informed him that Judy Gilreath suffered a “large right-sided subdural hematoma” associated with midline shift of the brain from left to right.
