Charles Stratton, 50 (pictured), is being held in jail after admitting to snatching Janice Allen's purse 'to pay for crack' at a Florida McDonald's and nearly running her over in the parking a lot after she chased him down on December 6
The elderly woman who was nearly run over at a McDonald's parking lot after she chased down the man who snatched her purse said she is praying for him as she shows her injuries from the ordeal.
Charles Stratton is in jail on a $40,000 bond on charges of aggravated battery, grand theft and robbery after turning himself in relation to the December 6 incident involving Janice Allen, 76, the Okeechobee Police Department said on Friday.
Stratton, 50, turned himself in to authorities in another county, saying he stole the purse to buy crack cocaine, police said.
But all he got was $4, according to Allen, who said it was her daughter's purse and she barely had anything in it.
Following her release from the hospital with injuries from the ordeal, Allen said she's not mad at Stratton.
'I pray that his heart will be softened so he can find the Lord, whether he goes to prison or whatever happens to him,' Allen said.
Allen was having dinner with a friend at the McDonald's on 70 East in Okeechobee, Florida on December 6, when a man came up behind her and grabbed her purse.
'We always have a Happy Meal, which I didn't get to finish by the way,' Allen said.
Surveillance cameras in the fast food restaurant captured the deed on camera, including the moment Allen took quick action and pursued the thief, even though she didn't have much to lose in the handbag, which didn't even belong to her.
'My daughter, it was her purse,' she said. 'All I had in it was my phone, charge cards and $4. He didn't get anything but $4, so it's amazing anybody would even do something like that.'
Janice Allen (on the pavement) tried to chase down the man who stole her purse and ended up almost run over in the process as he tried to flee the McDonald's in Okeechobee, Florida

Describing the moment she decided to chase the man down, anyway, Allen said, 'Well I just slid out the booth and ran after him.'
When Allen got out to the parking lot, exterior security cameras caught the rest of the terrifying incident.
Allen raced up to the car that the man was getting into, determined to get back her belongings.
'He started to close the door and I yanked the handle with my left hand,' she said.
Now, after two days in the hospital, the Ohio grandmother is still awaiting results of an MRI and her arms are black and blue
Showing the lower half of her leg to WPTV cameras while wincing in pain from trying to take off her slipper, Allen said, 'This was all swollen and it's still swollen in my foot'

As Allen successfully opened the door, the man backed up, Allen was knocked down by the door and slid right underneath it with the front wheels of the car barely missing her body as the man sped away.
When she went down, Allen smacked her head hard on the concrete, and she said everything went black.
Doctors diagnosed her with suffering a concussion and and she said she also had a blood drop on her brain.
The man first ran out the door, and approached a car parked in a handicap accessible parking spot, near the exit door that he ran out of
The man can clearly be seen on surveillance footage getting in to the car that nearly hits Allen

Ever the optimist, she added, 'I have no broken bones, but I'm badly bruised.'
Allen is a snowbird, who spends the winter months in Florida to escape the Cincinnati cold with her husband, Bill.
Bill said he's thankful she wasn't more seriously injured.
'I really thought the worst,' he said, 'but I'm grateful to the Lord that she's not hurt any worse than what she was.'
Ever the optimist, Allen added, 'I have no broken bones, but I'm badly bruised.' She is shown immediately after the incident, being helped by witnesses
The incident occurred on December 6 at the McDonald's on 70 East in Okeechobee, Florida

The elderly woman who was...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
