WHEELING, W.Va. - A man who knocked down an 82-year-old woman and tried to snatch her purse, ran away with nothing after she refused to give it up. The Wheeling woman was attacked at about 5 p.m. Wednesday as she and her husband were walking to one of their favorite's restaurants, said police Lt. Gary Gaus.
Police later arrested and charged Ricky Booth, 20 in the attempted purse snatching after an eyewitness gave them the license plate number of the gold Pontiac Grand Prix in which the would-be thief escaped.
The woman was treated at Ohio Valley Medical Center and later released, Gaus said.
Booth is charged with first-degree attempted robbery.
