81 YR OLD TIED UP AND ROBBED

CHICKASAW AL....JULY 8 2007 Chickasaw police today arrested a 37-year-old man in connection with a robbery in which an 81-year-old man was tied up at his home.
William Terrell Entrekin of Chickasaw was being held tonight in Mobile County Metro Jail on $13,300 bond. Police charged him with first-degree robbery and second-degree burglary, according to Sgt. Brad Penton. Entrekin, who was convicted in 1999 for receiving stolen property, has been doing odd jobs such as mowing people's lawns to make some money, Penton said.
On Thursday, Entrekin was on 10th Avenue and knocked on the door of an 81-year-old man who had paid Entrekin to do some yard work at his house, Penton said. Entrekin asked if he could borrow a shovel, and the man invited Entrekin inside while he went to retrieve it, Penton said.
Once inside, Entrekin pulled out an electrical cord he had brought and tied the man's arms behind his back, Penton said. Entrekin took the man's wallet, threatened violence and told the man he planned to steal his car, Penton said.
