Poolesville Man Sentenced 17 Years In Prison For Kidnapping 80-Year-Old Woman

POOLESVILLE, Md. (WJZ) -- A Montgomery County man was sentenced to 17 years in prison after kidnapping an 80-year-old woman and robbing her at knife-point.

Officials say Robert Allen Dove escaped from a prison program last October and went to the victim's home the next day.

Police say Dove took $350 and a gold chain, then demanded the woman drive him around.

Dove will be in court again Friday for violation of parole.

He could get even more prison time.
