A 50 year old man with a history of robbery convictions was nabbed by police on Friday afternoon after trying to steal a car with a four-year old in it.
The child's mother was using the mailbox in the parking lot of the defunct Food Mart on Washington Street, when she was knocked to the ground, allegedly by Monty Watson, of 180 Rose Circle. The attacker then jumped into her vehicle and attempted to drive off. Screaming at him that her baby was in the car, the woman jumped on top of him.
The attacker pushed her off, grabbed her purse, and ran towards Plaza Drive. After canvassing the neighborhood, the police found Watson riding a bicycle on Westfield Street near Bailey Road. He initially tried to run from the police, but then turned to hit them.
Watson is is currently on probation for Burglary 1st, Larceny 2nd, Robbery 3rd, Interfering with an Officer/Resisting, Violation of Probation and Assault 3rd on an Elderly person.
His new charges include Robbery 3rd, Larceny 6th, Risk of Injury to Minor, Robbery of an occupied MV, Criminal attempt to assault a Police Officer, Interfering with a Police Officer. He is being held on a $300,000 bond.
