Police say a SWAT & Special Response Team officer this afternoon arrested the man suspected of shoving an 84-year-old Kentucky woman to the ground while robbing her of her purse outside a South Nashville medical building on September 19th. Officers tell us Todd Drewes, 46, was taken into custody on Lafayette Street moments after an officer saw him emerge from a building on Ash Street. We're told an investigation headed by a South Precinct detective led to the identification of Drewes as the man believed responsible. The detective traveled today to Central City, Kentucky, to show the victim a photo lineup. Police tell us she identified Drewes. Officers say in addition, Drewes, during an interview with police a short time ago, admitted to the crime. We're told an arrest warrant charging him with robbery is being prepared. The victim and her husband had traveled to Nashville for a medical appointment at Premier Orthopedics on Harding Place. Police say they encountered the robbery suspect at the entrance to the building at 12:20 p.m. on September 19th. Officers tell us they briefly engaged in a casual conversation before the robber suddenly shoved the elderly woman down and took her purse. We're told he fled on foot. At the time of the attack, Drewes, who is believed to be homeless, was wanted for failing to appear on two misdemeanor citations issued in July charging him with theft and possession of drug paraphernalia.

By CHEVEL JOHNSON Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The sounds of country music take over the City of Baton Rouge as the Bayou Country Superfest brings some of the genre's biggest names to LSU's Tiger Stadium for a Memorial Day holiday jamfest.
Headlining Saturday are Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Darius Rucker and Aaron Lewis, the former frontman for rock band Staind. The two-day festival concludes Sunday with performances by Zac Brown Band, Luke Bryan and The Band Perry.
Festival producer Quint Davis says the talent and free fan fest held before the nightly concerts help to entice attendees. In its fourth year, the festival drew 75,000 people last year.
Visit Baton Rouge executive vice president Renee Areng says Superfest has encouraged people to travel to Baton Rouge on a traditionally sleepy weekend.
