A Meridian man is a hero in New York. Robbie Jarman is there to help with the recovery from Hurricane Sandy. But he's also a crime fighter.
Jarman was working in Long Island's New Hyde Park with other men, when they saw a suspect snatch a purse from an 80-year-old woman.
The three men caught the alleged thief and held him until police arrived a few minutes later.
The woman's husband received minor injuries trying to pursue the suspect, Brian Maher, 29, who has been charged with two counts of second degree robbery.
