On 03/22/2005 at or around 1430-1500 time line of crime an 80-yr-old female victim of the crime and in her words the following occurred.

I was leaving the Winn Dixie in Auburn and as I started out of the store a black female called me to the pay phone. She stated that she had just left the eye doctor and could not see the phone book to make a call. I told her that there was no phone book there. She then asked me to take her to where she worked which she said was an attorney office and that a girl friend had dropped her off at the Winn Dixie. I drove her to what was suppose to be an attorney’s office in Opelika. She said that she worked for a Mr. Weinberg and that he was 87 years old. She also told me that she was from Tuskegee but now lived in Opelika. After arriving at the office she stated that she would go in the back so that she would not keep going in and out of the front. I could not tell if this was a lawyer’s office or not. I did not see any signs. We went to her office because she showed me an Eckerd Drug Envelope that contained a lot of money. She told me that she found this money at the Winn Dixie and if I would take her to her boss she would make sure that it was ok to split the money with me. When she showed me this money there was a note in it that read dear brother please send this money to Mexico. After leaving her lawyers office she told me there was over $80,000.00 in the envelope. She stated that we could split the money but I would need to get $3,500.00 from my account because the money in the envelope was in thousand dollar bills and we could not circulate them. We started driving to Dadeville and she stated that she needed to get a sandwich at the Piggly Wiggly. I dropped her off at the Piggly Wiggly and I went to The Bank of Dadeville and talked to Jimmy Evers about getting the money. Jimmy told me that it would take a couple of days to process the loan. I then picked her up at the Piggly Wiggly and drove to Hardees'. I put her out at Hardees' and went to Colonial Bank and took the $3,500.00 out of my ATM account. I drove back to Hardees' and had to wait for her to walk back up. I gave her my money and she said my part was in the blue zippered bag and she put it in the trunk of my car. She then asked me for $150.00 to go to the satellite place to make a transaction. She went into Hardees' and I never saw her again. After she left my car she looked like she was walking across the street to the satellite place but I never saw her again.

I do not remember her first name. I do remember she said her last name was Lucas.

Employees working at Hardees' stated that she walked to the rear of the parking lot and got into a silver 2002 or 2003 Ford Tempo driven by a black male. The vehicle drove up Cass Street toward Broadnax.

Defendant described as a B/F, 5’11”, 130 lbs. with a wig on. Beige or Tan colored pants, Light Blue jacket, Black purse, and some type of tote bag.
