Police said they were led to a 22-year-old suspect in a weekend purse-snatching after he inadvertently dropped his wallet with his identification. Police told WMTW-TV that they were called Saturday morning with a report that a man had pushed down a 58-year-old woman as she walked and stolen her purse.
When police arrived, they found a wallet with an ID in it that had apparently been dropped in the scuffle.
The man was arrested about 15 minutes later a few blocks away. He was charged with strong-armed robbery.
