- The sheriff’s office says the attack occurred on July 16 when a woman knocked on an 86-year-old man’s back door, announced herself as police, shone a strobing flashlight into his face and forced her way inside.
- Deputies say the intruder demanded money, threatened the victim with jail, struck him in the arms and chest, placed him in a chokehold and stole $2,000 in cash before fleeing.
- The victim identified the suspect as 63-year-old Jacqueline Smith Johnson and a warrant was obtained; deputies located and arrested Johnson on July 20 and charged her with first‑degree aggravated robbery of an elderly person.
