A man in Kentucky has been placed behind bars for allegedly robbing an 84-year-old man.

Police in Hopkinsville arrested Daquan Butler on Saturday.

The 21-year-old allegedly shoved the victim to the ground and held him down while he took his money.

Butler fled in a car, and a witness followed him to an address on Virginia Street.

When police arrived, he ran, but he was caught by a K9 unit.

Authorities said he had several hundred dollars in cash when he was arrested, which belonged to the 84-year-old.

Butler has been charged with robbery and fleeing and evading police.
