A man slipped in an elderly woman’s residence through an open door as she unloaded bags from her car.
The 81-year-old returned home from shopping at about 5:35 p.m. and parked in her garage on the 2400 block of South Ninth Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. While she was carrying her purchases inside, a man followed her in the kitchen and demanded money. She gave him $218. As he fled her home, he knocked over a TV and ripped the cord out of her telephone.
The suspect was described as white, 5-foot-9 and wearing a green jacket with a scarf covering his face.
