Memphis, TN -- It's happened again in Midtown, Memphis. Another person was robbed in a driveway. It happened in the 1800 block of Harbert Monday night, June 16, 2008.
A young woman, planning to spend time with her, family had just arrived at her parents' home when a guy came out of nowhere and grabbed her from behind. He started dragging her down the driveway when she fell as he snatched her purse.
Her father, standing just feet away at the time, chased the crook, but backed off when he says the robber shot at him. "You just react. It was not wise to chase the person and I understand now. You just feel angry," said Winton Smith, the victim's father.
Neither Mr. Smith nor his daughter was seriously hurt. Anyone with information about this crime is urged to call Crime Stoppers at (901) 528-CASH.
