Police said they charged a Redding man with robbery at about 10:15 p.m. Sunday on Main Street.
Police said an officer saw two men arguing on Elm Street at Main Street at 10:13 p.m. Sunday. The officer intervened and separated the two. The first man said his wife was just outside her residence on Main Street coming in when the second man, later identified as Matthew Brundage, 32, Redding, came up from behind her. Brundage grabbed and ripped the purse off of her shoulder and proceeded to run down Main Street. The husband gave chase and caught him. As the officer went to arrest Brundage, he took off again on foot and was taken into custody after a brief foot chase. Brundage was charged with third-degree robbery, second-degree larceny, interfering with the duties of a police officer, and breach of peace. Brundage was held on a $5,000 bond.
