A Chatsworth mother and daughter were arrested Thursday on armed robbery charges after authorities said they held a friend at knifepoint and stole her medications.
Helen Rebecca Carroll, 64, of 394-C Fullers Chapel Road, and Charlotte Lynn Boling, 43, of 307 Davis Road, were each charged by the Murray County Sheriff’s Office with one count of armed robbery.
“These three ladies knew each other and they had gone to the Marathon (convenience store) at Ramhurst,” said Sheriff Howard Ensley of the incident that occurred on June 16. “One of them had gone into the store and the other one waited in the car with the victim and pulled a knife on her, and demanded she give them her medications. She gave her some medication she had.”
Ensley said there were around three kinds of medications in a “lockbox” the woman was carrying, and Carroll helped her daughter “gather” the meds when she got back into the car after the woman turned them over.
“The complainant advised that she gave the offender about 64 pills of hydro/APAP 10/650, about 42 pills of carisoprodol (350 mg) and about 37 pieces of alprazolam,” an incident report states, adding the weapon used was a pocketknife.
“They took (the victim) back home after that,” Ensley said. “They were friends — it was one of those things. The victim told us they had taken her medicines.”
Carroll and Boling were denied bond in a Magistrate Court first appearance at the Murray County jail on Friday, a jail spokeswoman said.
