GIVING THE FINGER
A Georgia woman's finger was torn off when a 21-year-old man in a car drove by and snatched her purse out of her hands.
The drive-by purse-snatching landed Caesare R. Pinkins in Gwinnett County Jail with multiple felony counts of robbery, aggravated battery and burglary.
On Wednesday, Pinkins swiped the 55-year-old woman's purse as he drove by and then stepped on the gas. Her finger was pulled off during the robbery. Surgical attempts to reattach it were unsuccessful.
Authorities did not release the woman's name or say where the incident occurred.
On a tip, police later found Pinkins in a Lilburn neighborhood where he ditched the car he was driving and entered a home that was unlocked. He also faces charges for another purse-snatching outside a Target store Monday.
Nice to know someone fingered the creep.
