Police: Pa. Man Imprisoned Disabled Victim in Home Sep 6th 2012, 11:52 Police have charged a Philadelphia man with imprisoning a deaf and mute victim so he could steal his Social Security checks. Investigators say 56-year-old Dwayne Young kept the man locked in a basement for four months while cashing his benefit checks. Capt. Laurence Nodiff says Young threatened 63-year-old William Richardson into signing the checks. Nodiff says police are investigating whether Young had committed similar acts before against his common-law wife, who died in March. Police who raided Young's home on Sunday found Richardson locked in a basement. Investigators say Young kidnapped Richardson in April near where he worked as a handyman in South Philadelphia. Young was arraigned Wednesday and held on $1 million bail. Court records don't list an attorney for him.
