Leigh Ann Reeves is in the process of moving into a new home.

Around 12:30a.m. Wednesday, Reeves realized the cable company would be at her home in the morning, and she still needed to buy a router.

“So I said I’ll just run into Walmart and pick one up,” Reeves said.

Realizing the time of night it was, Reeves says she had safety in mind.

“The very first spot in the row happened to be open and it was close to a street light, so it was well lit,” Reeves said.

Reeves went into the Walmart on Nicholasville Road and bought a few items.

She says she walked quickly to her car, and once she got into her SUV, she immediately reached over to shut the door.

“As I reached to close my door, arms came around me really quickly and pulled me out of the car,” Reeves said, “A man, I did not get a good look at him, but he started punching me. But in my mind right then I said, ‘You have got to fight’.”

Reeves began to yell. A Good Samaritan started heading towards her, as she was getting attacked.

“When they saw that he was coming, they said ‘Let’s go’ and they took off,” Reeves said.

As the suspects took off in what was described as a light colored Dodge Charger, another Good Samaritan took off in his truck after them. Eventually, he was able to provide a license plate number to police.

Reeves believes the Good Samaritans whom she still does not know, saved her life.

“I absolutely do. If there would have been another blow, that could have been the blow that knocked me out. It could have killed me. They could have raped me. They could have taken my car and rolled over me. They could have thrown me in the car and no one would have known what happened to me,” Reeves said.

Two hours after Reeves was attacked, a Lexington police officer spotted a Dodge Charger that had a matching license plate to the one police were looking for.

Four people were questioned. At this time only one person has been charged, 23-year-old Derrick Green. Green has been charged with Robbery-1st.

Reeves says she is focusing on the positive.

“I did not get seriously injured. I did not die. I’m here to tell that you can fight. You don’t have to be a helpless victim,” Reeves said.

Reeves says she is praying for the people who attacked her, and hopes this doesn’t happen to another person ever again.

“I just want people to know, like I said, I thought ‘I want to park close. I want to park under a light’. And I did theses safety things and I wanted to get in the store quickly and get out and they still got me. I realize it was risky for me to go to the store alone at 12 something at night. But I should be able to pull up close to a major department store and be safe to go in there,” Reeves said.

Lexington Police say they believe Green was also involved in another violent robbery that happened about an hour before Reeves was attacked.

Police say around 11:30p.m., a Walmart employee was walking home toward Executive Drive. She told police while waiting to cross the street at the Hamburg Walmart exit and Winchester Road, a light colored Dodge Charger stopped next to her. Police say two men got out of the vehicle and quickly approached the woman. Police say she attempted to run, but the suspects pushed her to the ground. Police say the suspects forcefully took her purse, then fled in the vehicle.

Police say this investigation is ongoing.
