The man stated that once he opened the door, while he was distracted, Janice grabbed his set of car keys off the counter and attempted to leave the residence. The man then advised the deputy he was able to get his keys back but Janice pushed her way back into the home, knocking over an elderly woman inside the residence, and took another set of keys.
