CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- An employee at the Parsley Motor Inn had quite a scare Thursday night when someone took her down, and then took off with her purse.

According to Charleston police, the woman left the motel office to go upstairs. That's when she says a tall male tried to grab her purse. The two got into a struggle, she fell to the ground and he took off with her purse.

The woman went back to the office, locked herself in, and called 911. She didn't have a good description of the man other than to say he was tall.

Police are still searching for the suspect.

The Charleston police need to patrol that area better, not just stop at 7-11 and read the magazines.
