The footage also showed the suspect arriving at the shopping plaza in a light-colored Nissan. He parked his car and followed the woman from the parking lot, by walking parallel to her in the next lane over all the way into the store.
The victim, Jessica Greer, told NBC 6 the attack left her family in fear.
“It’s been horrible. I can’t go to a grocery store. My kids are traumatized. They don’t want to go to school,” she said after the incident.
“I am overwhelmed,” Greer said of the news of the Grace’s arrest. “Anxious, very happy and grateful,” “I can sleep tonight knowing I don’t have to look over my shoulders,” Greer said.
Grace was arrested in Fort Lauderdale and was transported to the Broward County Jail where he was charged with strong arm robbery, possession of Alprazolam, and violation of probation. He is being held on no bond until trial, Broward Sheriff’s Office officials said.
