KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) -

An elderly couple is recovering Tuesday after they were brutally beaten inside their south Kansas City home.

The woman was also raped, according to a police report.

Tony L. Putman, 18, of Kansas City was charged with six felonies Tuesday afternoon. The charges include one count of rape and two counts of robbery.

The couple's ordeal began about 1:30 p.m. Monday when a man broke into their home near 73rd Street and Campbell Avenue. Entry was gained through a basement window, which was broken.

The 93-year-old man was home alone when the suspect began to ransack the house and attacked him, police said.

Putman hit the man in the face and bound him with belts, according to court documents.

In the meantime, the man's 84-year-old wife came home. She had been at the bank where she had gotten $400.

Police said the woman came into the house and heard her husband moaning.

"She went upstairs to check on him and she met his attacker," according to court documents. "He bound her hands and demanded money. She gave him $5."

After forcing the woman upstairs, the man took $400 from her she had just received from the bank. He then raped her, according to court documents. Putman allegedly also stole jewelry from the home.

After the 93-year-old man broke free, he discovered his wife crumpled in a heap on the floor.

"You see all that stuff in the news and then the next thing you know it happens to your family," said Chris Garcia, who is married to the couple's daughter. "It's just a horrible thing that someone would do something like that to two elderly people."

After receiving a description of the stolen vehicle, police kept an eye out for it. Just before 3 p.m., police became involved in a short chase with the driver. Three people inside the car were taken into custody but ultimately not charged.

"I did it all," Putman allegedly told police when he was taken into custody. "They had nothing to do with anything."

    Out of control breeding by tactless, unprincipled, morally bankrupt human garbage is a vicious cycle. Generations stack upon each other not being raised with any kind of principle or character development. Most of these kids never stood a chance. But NO ONE has an excuse for atrocious behavior. Everyone has the ability to reason and knows the difference between right and wrong, minus the mentally/intellectually challenged. Point blank: Irresponsible, unaccountable, trashy men need to stop leaving semen where it DOES NOT BELONG. Sex has CONSEQUENCES that need to be reckoned with.

    Why is this sort of thing happening - you ask. It's a combination of things - drug abuse, lack of morals and values, lack of an education, the economy, poor or no parenting, -- it's a mix. It's so shameful and disgusting. The offender needs to be charged and prosecuted to the max. I hope justice will prevail. God bless that elderly couple.

    Young people just simply don't have positive role models. I won't blame it on the media, but I blame it on people's perception of the media. When you play games like Grand Theft Auto, you're the bad guy and you go around stealing cars, raping women and killing people. The Joker is actually one of the most idolized villains out there and if you wikipedia him and study more about his character you will find out that he is also one of the darkest and evil villains out there. The anti-hero is also "in" fashion and characters like Jack Sparrow are idolized because he has that "every man for himself" attitude. Religion is no longer looked up to because of the rigorous fanaticism behind it. The "White Knight" is dead and people's minds are just getting darker and darker because the media portrays it as cool to be dark, self centered and villainous. Sure, not everyone who roots for the anti-hero may be a murderer, thief or a rapist, but it does desensitize us a lot.

    So what you are saying is that a black man committed these crimes so now all black people must explain it. How do you sound?
    Did you feel the need to explain the theatre shooting? How about columbine? The dude that shot the governor of Arizona? Jeffrey Dalmer?
    You guys consider black people and white are somehow more or less human.
    If I had to, I couldn't explain this But I struggle to explain, the Holocaust, the assassination of JFK, mlk or the gay politicians in S.F. in the eighties.
    the fact that you expect me to explain it doesn't make you much smarter than Mr.Putnam.

    gee look back on your rant and I can find a micro-brain like yourself blaming a conservative for ALL of it..from the the NRA to talk radfio...of course you feel justified in doing that which is why a Latino named Zimmerman suddenly turned white....so defend THIS animal let's hear it we can all use a good belly laugh
  • gerald.... Ballade... 2012/08/10 23:57:33

    You see, this is you trying to be smart while spouting ignorance.
    I was gonna say something about your word micro-brain, like what does brain size have to do with anything. But maybe brain size does come in to play when you want one race to be responsible for the actions of one man But you can't explain why a white dude like Jeffrey Dalmer felt it necessary to eat little black boys.
    I don't listen to talk radio. I don't watch political television. But I might side with the left when it comes to money issues But when it comes to my beliefs and rights I'm very conservative. You on the other hand are probably a conservative because you believe that is what a fat middle aged white man should be. The fact is, that if you make less than a hundred thousand dollars a year, you are like all the rest of us morons who let the government take advantage of us.
    BTW...I didn't bring up Zimmerman. And all I said when it happened was if that was a minority, he would've been locked up until AFTER the initial investigation.
    But I did bring up Jim Jones and Jeffery Dalmer. I did bring up Columbine. I did bring up the theatre shooter. None of which you brought up in you reply to my reply. In fact you chose to attempt to deflect my question with the whole Zimmerman thing.
    You see I caught your simple minded attempt. Either I'm smarter than you think, or you're not as smart as you think.

    Item:
    a flash mob of BLACK teens were looking for white people in a parking lot in WI.
    Teens weren't identified as BLACK

    ITEM:
    man attacked and sent to hospital by a mob saying 'this is for trayvon"..teens NOT identified as black though they were

    ITEM:
    a Latino named Zimmerman is called 'white' and the audio and video are so adjusted as to qualify for a F/X Oscar

    AND let us not forget you socialists and your recent attack...

    And again I ask you, with all due respect (if there is any at all) what does Mr. Putnam have to do with Mr.Zimmerman???
    Surely you can't be paranoid or delusional enough to believe this dude did this out of payback.
    That's like saying the dude in Wisconsin killed all those people in that temple because of 9/11. Another white dude with some sort of inferiority complex.
    Such a shame. I thought this was gonna be some sort of intelligent conversation But it seems as though you were just intent on showing all the people on here that agreed with you, just how racist and weird you are.
    I bet that you hate that a black man makes more sense than you. But that's the burden or racism.
    Don't feel bad though. I have family members that hate white folks as much as you hate black folks.
    As for me, I treat people they way they deserve. And you sir, unless you can come up with a solid answer to my first question, are wasting my time.

    I really do think you have a complex. You buy into all the b.s out there that you believes makes you better than others . Especially black folks.
    But i think what really burns you is that you never thought a black man would be considered the most powerful man in the world while you are mentally impotent. And its sad that you wallow in that misery.
    Its not you fault that black people have always beenfaster and stronger than you. Now you see evidence that we could be smarter.
    Think of it like this... There is black man who for all his faults was still able to get elected while you continue to feel as though the world is gonna crumble. Its not.
    But i wish nothing but good things for you for the rest of your now miserable exsistance.
