At the same time, the suspect, believed to be Diego Stalin Tavarez Fleury, starts walking toward the woman from the sidewalk area behind her. He approaches her and tries to swipe the winnings out of her hand, then some sort of verbal altercation takes place.
Another man walks out of the store and appears to tell Fleury to leave.
Fleury then goes after the woman and starts trying to take the money while the other man tries to pull him off of the victim. Fleury drags the woman in the parking lot as she holds onto her winnings, and ultimately steals the money from her.
Another man attempted to come to the aid of the woman during the robbery, but was unable to stop Fleury from stealing her money and running off. (Orange County Sheriff’s Office)
