DAVIE (CBSMiami) – Davie Police say they've caught the man who robbed a woman at a gas station and dragged her with his car.

Robbert Flagg, 19, of Miami was arrested with the help of Miami-Dade Police and the Broward Sheriff's Office.

Earlier this month, Patricia Coxe was pumping gas in Southwest Ranches, when her passenger window was smashed into and her purse was stolen.

She chased after the suspect and was dragged through the parking lot during the getaway.

Coxe, who's a nurse, said it was her instinct to go after her belongings.

Flagg faces several charges, including robbery with a firearm and aggravated battery.
