Police arrested a South-of-South resident for supposedly assaulting an older adult.

The complainant was in Hoagie Town, 1206 Point Breeze Ave., on Oct. 22 when the alleged aggressor grabbed her wrist, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. She told authorities the customer also stopped her from leaving the store and raised a hand to her as if she might strike. The complainant received help from a customer, who grabbed the alleged offender, thus enabling the older adult to inform police.

Authorities arrested Sandra Robertson, 35, of the 900 block of South 24th Street, and charged her with simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, harassment, robbery, and theft. She awaits a Nov. 8 preliminary hearing.
