Two accused of preying on 91-year-old

PENSACOLA, Fla (WALA) - Deputies said Kayla Donato, 30, and Jessica Tipton, 25, preyed upon a 91 year old man and stole from him.

Deputies said the victim claimed that one woman asked to drive so he let her. They said the women drove the victim onto Davis Highway and that's when the man told the women to take him back home.

However, authorities said the women refused and then took $200 from his wallet.

That’s when the women pulled off the road and stopped in a wooded area next to a furniture store.

Authorities said the women turned off the ignition and took his keys before getting out of the car.

The victim then told deputies they ran away from the area on foot.

Authorities said the man ran into a nearby store and called 911. They said a store employee spotted to the two women running down the side of the road.

Deputies later found Donato and Tipton in the Big Lots parking lot and the victim identified them.
