Two men were arrested on robbery-related charges on Hickory Ridge Circle Sunday night after one of them assaulted his own mother to take cash from her purse.
An arrest citation for 47-year old Arby Kimble of Hopkinsville says he went to his mother’s home asking for money and that he grabbed her purse that was hanging on a door.
When his 77-year old mother tried to get her purse back, he allegedly pushed her onto a bed and choked her until he was able to get $40 out of her wallet before fleeing the scene.
The victim said she cried out for help, including to 61-year old Barry Colley of Hopkinsville, who had allegedly driven Kimble to her home and who was present in the room at the time of the robbery.
Kimble is charged with first-degree robbery and second-degree strangulation, while Colley is charged with complicity to first-degree robbery.
