STUART, Fla. (AP) - A 75-year-old robbery victim was no easy mark. Police in Stuart, Fla., report the senior chased down the 29-year-old who snatched the man's brand new laptop and printer. According to authorities, the victim was waiting outside a Best Buy, when Samuel Dallas Jarvis grabbed the packages and ran. But he didn't get far. Police say the suspected crook went just 8 feet before the elderly man managed to catch him. An off-duty deputy saw the struggle and jumped into help. Jarvis is now being held on $12,500 bail.
