Aaron Michael Brown, 19 of Decatur, killed his grandmother, Deborah Patterson, on Friday. Brown s maternal grandmother, Linda Cockrell, filed a petition for commitment in May.
Probate Judge, Greg Cain, said there’s a process after a person files a petition for commitment.
“Our process is then to call Decatur Morgan West, that’s who our contract is with, they’ve agreed to accept court holds,” said Cain.
But, Decatur Morgan West doesn’t have enough space to take in court holds.
