HOW COULD Y'ALL DO THAT TO HER? 04.30.2009 Memphis, TN A 74 year old woman was robbed in her drive-way as she was leaving yesterday to visit her ill sister. The 74 year old woman, Theodosia Harvey said as she was leaving when two men approached her and forced her to lay on the ground. They then took her purse and cell phone and drove away in her car! The two robbers then went to visit a local pawn shop to pawn some jewerly she had placed in her purse. Her car was spotted by investigators and were arrested as they waited in line at the pawn shop...then they were taken away while trying to make the jewerly pawn. Terrance Moore and Mikel Cathey now are facing 500,000 bond plus some other lines of charges. Ms. Harvey said: "For some reason I put two rings and necklace in a pouch and put it in my purse."
