INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) - Metro police have arrested a man who they say beat up, then robbed a woman whom he knew on the west side of Indianapolis Wednesday.
Officers responded to the report of a home invasion in the 9200 block of Camby Road Wednesday and found the female victim, who is in her 70s, suffering from minor injuries.
Detectives learned 34-year-old Jeremy Clark had done yard work for the woman in the past. He allegedly came to her home Wednesday, shoved her to the ground and fought with the woman before tying her hands together. He allegedly stole credit cards, cash and the woman's vehicle and fled the area.
The woman was able to chew through the binding to free herself and call for help. Her vehicle was found in a west Indianapolis parking lot.
Clark was taken into custody Friday evening, following a tip from the public.
The woman was taken to IU West Hospital to be treated for her injuries. She spoke about the ordeal with Eyewitness News reporter Steve Jefferson Thursday.
