Man wearing 'No Christ No Life' shirt assaults 82-year-old in Tampa: police
Police say a witness dashcam video helped identify Joseph Wren, 57, who faces a robbery charge after the woman was hospitalized and later released.
- Tampa police arrested Joseph Wren, 57, on Tuesday for violently robbing an 82-year-old woman near West Hillsborough Avenue and North Habana Avenue last Friday, allegedly grabbing her by the hair and stealing her bag.
- Tesla dash camera footage from a witness helped investigators track the suspect and link him to a bicycle theft earlier that day near North Florida Avenue and East Columbus Drive, guiding patrol officers searching the area.
- Officers apprehended Wren near North Nebraska Avenue and East Annie Street on Tuesday, prompting Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw to condemn the attack as a "cowardly act of violence" against the elderly community member.
- The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office booked Wren on a robbery charge of less than $750, a second-degree felony. He waived his first court appearance on Wednesday, and a judge set bail at $100,000.
- Bercaw credited "outstanding investigation, community assistance, and proactive policing" for the swift arrest. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the Tampa Police Department or submit tips through Crimestoppers of Tampa Bay referencing report #26-259550.
