Police: Man Rips Woman's Pants Off, Steals Money

Brooklyn Park: Assault, robbery arrest

Anne Arundel County police arrested a Baltimore man Saturday, alleging that he ripped the pants off of a woman in a Brooklyn Park apartment and stole money from her.

Sidney Phillip Lumpkins, 31, of the 300 block of Old Riverside Road in Baltimore was charged with robbery, first- and second-degree assault and theft.

According to a police press release, officers responded to the 400 block of Church Street in Brooklyn Park at about 4:30 p.m. Saturday for a report of a man assaulting a woman.

Officers spoke with a 57-year-old Baltimore woman who said she was inside an apartment on Church Street with a friend and Lumpkins, whom she said she did not know. The woman said she took money out of her pocket to loan to her friend when Lumpkins saw she had more money.

Lumpkins asked the woman for money, but she refused. The woman told police that Lumpkins hit her, causing her to fall to the ground, got on top of her and began to strangle her. Police said Lumpkins then physically pulled the pants off of the victim and took an undisclosed amount of cash from the pocket before running from the scene.

The woman described Lumpkins and officers located him a short time later and apprehended him. Police said the victim and her friend both identified Lumpkins as the suspect in the incident.
