A man recently paroled from prison who robbed a woman of her car at knifepoint outside Partner’s Pizza in Peachtree City Monday night was apprehended last night in Houston County, Ala., police said. Ronald Dale Smith, 35, was arrested after Houston sheriff’s deputies noticed the stolen car and attempted to pull it over, police said. Smith led them on a pursuit and eventually fled the vehicle as he attempted to break into a residence, police said. Smith is being held at the Houston County Jail on several charges including the armed robbery charge from Monday’s incident, police said. Smith approached the victim just after 8 p.m. Monday as she was getting out of her car near Partner’s Pizza, police said. Smith took the car and also the victim’s purse and left the area, police said. The victim was unhurt. Prior to the incident Smith had been with a friend inside the Y-Knot sports bar just a few doors down from Partner’s, police said. Police said Smith was recently paroled from Autry State Prison for fleeing and attempting to elude a police officer and homicide by vehicle; those charges were prosecuted in Carroll County. Autry State Prison is located south of Albany, Ga. login to post comments |
