A West Price Hill man is accused of punching a mentally retarded person
repeatedly in the face and then taking $54 in a May 30 robbery.

Terry Crossty says police have the wrong guy.

According to court records, Crossty, 20, demanded money from the victim –
who is not identified by name or gender in documents – in the 1700 block
of Westwood Avenue in South Fairmount.


The victim ended up with two swollen eyes and cuts and bruises to the
face.

Crossty ended up arrested Monday evening after he was spotted on the
street not far from where the alleged robbery took place.

Crossty, charged with robbery, is being held on $20,000 bond. In court
this
morning, Crossty’s lawyer said Crossty, a factory employee, “denies
vehemently” that he had anything to do with the alleged robbery.

He said this is a case of mistaken identity.
