Elderly man attacked and robbed in his Fairfield home

An elderly Fairfield man was robbed early Wednesday afternoon at his home in the 1700 block of North Texas Street.

Leroy Wallace is still at large and wanted for the assault.

According to the Daily Republic, the 84-year-old man was at his home when two men allegedly came to his home and demanded money. The two men, identified by police as Adolph Greene, 45, and Leroy Wallace, 49, allegedly attacked the elderly man, knocking him to the ground and punching him several times. The suspects left, but not before taking cash from the man’s pocket.

The man called police and gave them a description of the men. A short time later Greene was seen near the man’s home. Greene was arrested on suspicion of robbery, conspiracy, and being drunk in public.

Greene has an extensive criminal record, and was let out of jail just last week. Court records show that Greene has been arrested seven times between 2002 and 2009, and three times since being release from prison last year. Wallace, whom police are still searching for, has an even more extensive local criminal record than Greene, according to the Daily Republic.
