As Tempra Mosley unlocked her car, she set her purse down, along with a scarf and some Krispy Kreme donuts.

When she turned back around, Ezell Graham was running away with all her things.

She screamed for help and several witnesses caught up to the suspect and restrained him until police arrived.

Ezell Graham is charged with multiple counts of robbery, attempted robbery, burglary and theft.

Police say they found items taken in four earlier robberies in Graham's car.
