Calcasieu Parish, LA (CNN) -- A Louisiana woman is facing battery charges after police say she hurt an elderly relative who wouldn't give her money.

Police arrested 42-year-old Jennifer Demary Tuesday.

Authorities say she called an 86-year-old family member that same day to ask for a ride.

When the victim arrived, Demary reportedly demanded money and the woman's car keys.

After she refused, police say Demary pushed the woman to the ground.

The victim suffered a fractured hip and bruises to her head and hand.

Demary's bond is set at 65-thousand dollars.
