Protecting Our Elders: Personal Injury Bloggers React to the Santa Monica Robbery and Assault In a disturbing incident that highlights the vulnerability of our elderly population, four suspects were apprehended after allegedly assaulting and robbing an elderly woman in Santa Monica. As personal injury bloggers, we are deeply concerned about the well-being of our senior citizens and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable for their actions. The incident occurred on Tuesday evening when Santa Monica police responded to a report of a battery on the 1200 block of Lincoln Boulevard. Upon arrival, they discovered a 79-year-old woman who had sustained injuries, including a blow to the head. The victim was promptly transported to a local hospital for treatment. The four suspects, identified as Kejon Stevenson (24), Jacob Pugh (19), and two unidentified 17-year-old boys, had forcefully taken the victim’s purse before fleeing the scene in a stolen Kia sedan, which had been reported stolen from Long Beach. Fortunately, an eyewitness was able to provide the police with the license plate number of the vehicle, aiding in their investigation. During a subsequent pursuit, the driver of the stolen vehicle lost control and crashed into a pickup truck near 11th Street and Wilshire Boulevard. Two suspects were apprehended at the scene, while the other two fled. However, through diligent efforts, law enforcement officers were able to track down and detain the remaining suspects. It is deeply disheartening to hear of such acts of violence against our elderly population. As personal injury bloggers, we recognize the physical and emotional toll this assault can have on the victim. It is crucial for her to receive the necessary medical care, support, and potentially seek legal recourse to address the harm caused. Elder abuse is a serious offense, and the charges these suspects face reflect the gravity of their actions. The charges include elder abuse, felony battery, and robbery. We hope that the legal process will ensure justice for the victim and send a clear message that such acts will not be tolerated. The case remains under investigation, and anyone with information related to this incident is urged to contact the Santa Monica Police Department. Detectives Tavera and Sergeant Gradle, as well as the Watch Commander, are actively working on the case and can be reached at the provided contact information. In conclusion, the assault and robbery of an elderly woman in Santa Monica is a distressing reminder of the vulnerability of our senior citizens. As personal injury bloggers, we stand in solidarity with the victim and emphasize the importance of protecting our elders from harm. Let us work together to raise awareness, support victims, and ensure that those responsible are held accountable. Tag: Criminal Justice Featured Image: Protecting Our Elders
