After robbing an elderly man outside of the Walmart in Greenacres. FL., the 20 year old robber dashed away in the "getaway" car driven, according to police, by none other than his mother.
According to the Palm Beach Beach Post, Jesse James Dillen, 20, faces charges of robbery and elderly abuse and remained in jail as of Wednesday afternoon in lieu of $30,000 bail.
Arthur E. Nieding, 78, told police he was about to open his car door after shopping at the Walmart on Greenacres Plaza when Dillen ran up behind him, pushed him into the vehicle and took his wallet. Nieding told police he had $40 in his wallet plus assorted credit and medical cards.
Surveillance video from the Walmart shows a man exiting a white Kia SUV at approximately 11:32 a.m. then striking Nieding and fleeing towards a Starbucks at the south end of the plaza.
A Greenacres detective later noticed a white Kia that matched the description from the surveillance video and made a traffic stop. Dillen was sitting in the passenger seat and his mother, Anne M. Negron, was driving the vehicle.
Negron told police she had been out of her home only twice that day, once at 8:40 a.m. and then just a few minutes before her car was pulled over by the Greenacres detective.
After being accused of lying to police, Negron said she had dropped her son off at Walmart then went to the Starbucks. She said Dillen ran up to her and said he had robbed Nieding then got into the car holding Nieding’s wallet in his hand.
Negron was not charged in the case.
