Richmond man arrested after allegedly trying to eat grandmother’s body
A Richmond Police Department sergeant describes the shocking scene of a man caught by police cannibalizing his grandmother. The suspect was tased by police before a struggle ensued where he was arrested.
Officers arrived at the residence to find 37-year-old Dwayne Wallick standing over 90-year-old Ruby Wallick, his grandmother, and digging in her flesh.
Officers used a Taser stun gun to partially subdue Dwayne Wallick before a physical altercation was required to handcuff him. Paramedics declared Ruby Wallick dead at the scene.
Dwayne Wallick was taken to a hospital for a physical health evaluation, according to Pomeroy. He will be booked into the Martinez Detention Facility once he is released from the hospital.
