Bornnazee Mceachern, of Paterson, has been charged with second-degree robbery in connection with the Monday, July 29 incident, Haledon police said in a news release.
Officers were called to 445 Haledon Ave. just before 6 that evening where they were met with the victim, who said a black, bearded man pushed her to the ground and stole her purse, which contained $400 in cash and personal items, police said.
The woman, who had parked in the back lot of the building, told officers that the assailant got into a black Ford Mustang and fled the scene. A witness corroborated the incident and police began their search for the suspect.
