79-Year-Old Woman Robbed While Leaving Library

Davidson County (NC) Library System

Link to August 19 Winston-Salem Journal wire report, "Man held in robbery of woman, 79, who was leaving public library".

Excerpt: A Thomasville man was being held on $25,000 bond in connection with the robbery Tuesday of a 79-year-old woman outside the public library on Randolph Street, Thomasville police said yesterday.

The victim was shoved into bushes outside the library about 3:40 p.m. as she was leaving, police said.

She was treated for minor injuries

WGHP-TV also covered this story, to which numerous comments have been appended.  Let's just say that 19-year-old Zachary Lee Rhodes is better off in protective custody.
