IMPD: Daughter attacks, robs disabled mom

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - After asking for the public's help to locate a woman police say attacked and robbed her disabled mother, police said Thursday evening that a tip helped them track her down.

On May 18, 28-year-old Jessica Strahl went to her mom’s house around 2 p.m. asking her for money. Strahl told her mother there were people after her for money, according to an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department report.

When the mom refused to give Strahl money, Strahl pushed her mother to the ground and ripped two gold necklaces from her neck, IMPD officials said. Strahl also took her mother’s cane so the woman couldn’t come after her.

Strahl’s mother is a double amputee who walks with a cane. She suffered injuries to her arm and back as a result of the altercation.

Officers said Strahl left the home in a red pickup truck with tinted windows. Someone else was driving. Strahl then pawned the necklaces.

Strahl was arrested without incident Thursday afternoon and faces a preliminary charge of robbery, a Class C felony. She was being held Thursday evening at the Arrestee Processing Center.
