SENATOBIA, Miss. (WREG) — Police say a man went about his daily activities for weeks even though his wife was lying on the floor of their home in desperate need of medical attention.

Robert Hibler, 80, was arrested Monday after his wife was found unresponsive and barely breathing at a house in the 200 block of Scott Street in Senatobia.

Detectives said one of Hibler’s relatives called 911 when they saw the woman’s condition.

“It was obvious from the very beginning that the female victim was in a location in the home on the floor, lying down, and had been there for quite some time. It didn’t take any kind of medical expertise to realize that,” said Lt. Brannon Rushing.

Hibler’s wife was taken to the hospital in critical condition, and Tuesday night was still unresponsive.

Detectives said right now, they are treating this as a neglect case but charged Hibler with domestic abuse and aggravated assault because of the victim’s condition.

Lt. Rushing wouldn’t go into details but said it was one of the worst cases he’s witnessed during his twenty years on the force.

“She was found in a location in the house that he would have had to constantly been around her and in the same vicinity as her,” said Rushing. “Besides her being on the floor, things had continued to go about the daily routine of life. It’s a sad situation.”

Investigators said they don’t know how she got into the condition she is in and are having trouble locating any of her relatives.

Hibling is being held in the Tate County Jail on a $100,000 bond
