A temporary worker at a senior living home in Georgia punched an 82-year-old resident hard enough to kill the man — leading to criminal charges this week, police say.

Curtis Hightower III, 28, was arrested Sunday and charged with exploitation of an elderly or disabled person and aggravated battery for the Jan. 5 incident, according to the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office and online jail records.
