KETTERING, Ohio -- Cops identify a suspect in a violent purse snatching.

The incident happened outside of the Meijer store at 4075 Wilmington Pike on Nov. 18.

The victim's daughter reportedly tried to subdue the suspect by hitting him and jumping on his back. The perp managed to get away.

The suspect is described as 5'9, 275 pounds and also uses the alias of "Gregory Duke" or "Derrick Duke."

Anyone with information on Patrick's location is asked to contract Detective Paul Markowski at (937) 296-2597.

    My advice is...put a REWARD out on this garbage! Don't specify an amount. Just put some flyers,AD's out in BOLD,large print w/his picture, and the words, VIOLENT THIEF! His own gang-bangers and buddies will give him up w/in 48 hours!
    In a N.Y .minute! OK?! The cops can't help. They are deCLAWED, and understaffed, etc. & busy eating DONUTS!
