Police arrested a woman Wednesday morning who allegedly carjacked and robbed a 92-year-old man in San Diego’s Golden Hill neighborhood.
According to police, the elderly victim was stopped at an intersection in the 4700 block of Imperial Avenue at around 6 a.m. in his tan 2006 Cadillac.
Investigators say suspect Meshee Nickerson, 49, opened the passenger door and got into the man's vehicle. She then allegedly told the man to get out while holding an unidentified object in her hand.
The victim got out of the car and Nickerson allegedly robbed him of his wallet, police said. She then drove away in his Cadillac without permission.
The victim walked to a local business near the 2400 block of F Street and police were called to the scene.
A short time later, a California Highway Patrol officer located the stolen car and the carjacking suspect near Oceanside.
Nickerson was arrested for carjacking. Police say the 92-year-old victim was not injured in the incident. His name was not released.
