Douglasville Police arrested a man in a home-invasion robbery during last week during which he allegedly roughed up a 75-year-old woman.

Stacy Bohannon, 28, was arrested on July 2 and was being held without bond, according to Douglas County Jail records.

Bohannon allegedly entered the woman’s apartment at Carrington Point Apartments through an open balcony door, the Douglas County Sentinel reported. Police said he was brandishing a gun.

FoxAtlanta reported the woman was tending to her flower garden at her first-floor apartment when the man came over the rail, grabbed her by the throat and demanded money.

He was arrested a short time later at a nearby convenience store, the TV station reported.

Police said Bohannon was a former tenant of the apartment complex who had left about two years ago. A neighbor told FoxAtlanta Bohannon had knocked on her door previously acting as if he was selling books; she got suspicious, grabbed a knife and told him to leave.

Police said Bohannon stole about $35 from the woman.
