Sheriffs did not provide additional details or comments about the ongoing criminal investigation.

"While Colorado Revised Statutes do not have a specific charge titled 'elder abuse,' there are other underlying crimes in Colorado that would commonly be perpetrated," the sheriff's office noted.

Criminal negligence, assault, robbery, theft, caretaker neglect, sexual assault and exploitation were each listed as examples of crimes.

"Additionally, there is a penalty enhancement for certain crimes against victims aged 70 or older," the statement said. "We want to send our well wishes to Mr. Amos and hope that he has a speedy recovery."

Amos starred as James Evans Sr. on "Good Times" and also had regular roles on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "Hunter," "The West Wing" and "Men in Trees."

He has three projects in the works, including "The Last Rifleman" with Pierce Brosnan and "Capture the Flag" with Dick Van Dyke, Louis Gossett Jr. and Barry Corbin.
