COLUMBUS, OH – Last Thursday morning, a suspect was in the parking lot of Resch’s Bakery at 4061 E. Livingston Ave. and approached the 81-year-old victim by his vehicle.

He threatened the victim for money then reached into the victim’s pants pocket. The victim pushed the suspect’s hand away. The suspect then slapped the victim in the face knocking off his glasses. The suspect walked away from the scene.

Zone 2 patrol officers were quickly able to arrest the suspect, 29-year-old Fliandus Boyd. Boyd is suspected in an assault/robbery that occurred earlier that morning on E. Livingston Ave.


“Great job by patrol officers on Zone 2 for following up from the earlier robbery and searching for the suspect,” said Det. Herman, CPD Robbery Unit.
