A Maryland man was arrested and charged with murder after he allegedly mowed down an elderly woman with a stolen forklift in a Home Depot parking lot, according to police.
Bryce Caleb Timothy Brown, 20, busted into a Lowes in Waldorf around 12:40 a.m. on Sunday, stole a forklift and rammed through its rear gates, the Charles County Sheriffs Office said.
He drove the forklift into the neighboring Home Depot parking lot and for unknown reasons, plowed it into a parked car, according to police.
Gloristine Pinkney, 73, who had been sleeping in her car, got out after Brown struck the vehicle and started running away.
He pursued her and ran her over with the forklift. He then stole her vehicle and fled, police said.
