Grandson arrested after forcing 87-year old grandmother to write a check for drugs

A CBS Los Angeles affiliate is reporting that an ex-convict is being accused of forcing his 87-year-old grandmother to write a check so he could purchase drugs and that he was arrested and arraigned Wednesday on robbery charges.

25-year old Tyler James Wedge faces more than 15 years in prison if convicted on the robbery count, and he has also been charged with burglary, receiving stolen property, two counts of possession of illegal narcotics, and one count of selling illegal drugs.

Murrieta, California police arrested Wedge, who is from Wildomar, on January 17, 2012 after his grandmother reported he had forced her to give him money. Wedge was visiting his grandmother when he took her checkbook, drafted a check to himself and forced her to sign it, Murrieta police Lt. Tony Conrad said.

After the woman filed her report, officers searched Wedge’s home and found “a considerable amount of prescription drugs. Further investigation revealed those controlled substances were in Mr. Wedge’s possession for the purpose of illegal sales.”

Wedge has a prior conviction for fraud, for which he served a year in prison, according to court records.
