Illinois Assisted Living Resident Beaten With Hammer

A seventy-nine year old resident of an assisted living facility has been charged with aggravated battery in the beating of his roommate.

James Sendaldi, Jr., a resident of Hitz Memorial Assisted Living Facility in Alhambra, Illinois, was arrested and charged after he beat his roommate four times with a hammer. Sendaldi found the hammer sitting out because of construction work being done at the facility. His sixty-nine year old victim was treated at a local hospital and released. The reason for the attack is unknown.

Sendaldi's bond was originally set at $40,000, but he was released on his own recognizance and ordered to stay away from his victim.
