Investigators used DNA evidence to track down the suspect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe took a long shot on it, but we thought we might as well give it a try,\u201d said Detective James Brueckman. \u201cWe were very happy to see the results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ricardo Benyard, 45, of Detroit, was arraigned Tuesday in 40th District Court on one count of unarmed robbery, a 15-year felony. Judge Mark Fratarcangeli set bond at $100,000.<\/p>\n<p>Mackey was working on his lawn on Larchmont Street near 11 Mile Road and Harper Avenue about 8:40 a.m. on July 30, when he was attacked from behind. The attacker forced Mackey face-first down on the ground and ripped the wallet from his rear pants pocket.<\/p>\n<p>The attacker fled on foot and hopped into a gray GMC SUV that was parked on a street east of the crime scene.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had seen him walking down the street a few minutes earlier and he came back,\u201d Mackey said. \u201cMy wife was cutting the grass in front of the house, and I was edging the side lawn. I went to bend down and he just pushed me to the ground and hit me with his fists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mackey suffered two broken ribs and other injuries in the attack. But he got the last laugh, as he doesn\u2019t keep cash in the wallet and was able to put a hold on his credit cards before they were used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>REPORT: He\u2019s not a vindictive man, but Harold Mackey &#8212; an 80-year-old Korean War veteran &#8212; hopes the man who mugged him \u201cgoes straight to jail.\u201d That hope has already come true after St. Clair Shores police earlier this week &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/?p=84820\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34,237],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-84820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blacks","category-crime"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=84820"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84820\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":84822,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84820\/revisions\/84822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=84820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=84820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=84820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
