The first robbery happened Friday, Sept. 7 at about 1:30. Police said McKibben accosted and forcefully shoved a woman to the ground before taking her purse.
As he robbed the woman from behind, McKibben shouted, “Give me the f**king purse!” police said.
At around the same time the next day, McKibben asked an adult woman and her mother is they wanted crack cocaine. Upon saying they did not want drugs, he tried to grab one of the women’s purse and punched her. She fell to the ground and put her purse in her pocket. McKibben then reached in and got away with cash and medication, police said.

The one woman suffered a bruise and swelling to her cheek and jaw as a result of the robbery.
The two women told officers they thought the suspect looked familiar and may have previously lived in the building.
