The Butler County Sheriff had high praise for Deshaun Pressley, who is being applauded for stopping a man suspected of snatching the purse of an 87-year-old woman.
The Butler County Sheriff's Office honored 27-year-old Deshawn Pressley, who chased down the man accused of stealing a purse from an 87-year-old woman. A purse-snatching suspect faces robbery and theft charges thanks to the heroics of a man who refused to be more than a bystander.
Deshawn Pressley, 27, got to him first. Deputies said Pressley chased Vaughn into the parking lot, tackling him while another Good Samaritan retrieved the victim’s purse. Police arrived at the store and arrested the suspect. The sheriff's office arranged a ceremony to praise Pressley for making a citizen's arrest.
He said his mother passed away when he was young, so his grandmother took him in — giving elderly women a special place in Pressley’s heart.
