Beech Bottom -- Brooke County Sheriff Richard Ferguson says 81- year old William Jones was arrested for sexually assaulting a woman over the weekend.

A Brooke County nursing home called the police over the weekend because it felt a visitor acted inappropriately toward a female patient.

The center is letting the police continue the investigation.

Sheriff Ferguson tells wtrf.com Williams was arrested and today is free on bond.
