Doug McVey, the victim’s son told police that he placed a camera in his mother’s room after noticing several unexplainable bruises.
In the video caught on the hidden camera, the arresting officer says Bryant could be seen slapping McVey with such force that it made her body lean over, and place her hands over her face as if she was in pain.
McVey suffers from dementia, so she does not recall the incident.
Bryant is facing felony charges for injury to the elderly.
