A video has been released showing the capture of a homeless man who allegedly barged into a Villager’s home and tried to steal her purse.
The 78-year-old woman said she was at her home on the Historic Side of The Villages at about 3 p.m. Friday when the man knocked on her door and pushed his way inside, according to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department. Once inside, the man dumped out the woman’s purse on a table and began looking for her car keys. The woman immediately grabbed her purse, prompting a tug-of-war battle between herself and the homeless man. She successfully fought for her purse and pushed the man out her front her door.
