Robbing and pistol whipping old ladies is an easy way to get fast cash, It's also a surefire way to get named Scumbag of the Week.

That's what Monette Bowen, 20, stands accused of after a Metro Police investigation. According to cops, Bowen robbed three women, ages 88, 87 and 63, on three separate occasions between Oct. 29 and Nov. 10. The women were all returning home--two of them to Belle Meade addresses, the third in south Nashville near Nolensville Pike--when Bowen confronted them. One victim refused to give up her purse and Bowen rewarded the brave effort by smacking the woman in the head with a handgun.

The victims and a witness positively identified Bowen as the robber.

Bowen is hardly a model citizen. Right now she's sitting in a Chattanooga jail cell on unrelated felony theft charges. She also has a slew of arrests in Nashville for theft, burglary and forgery.

Turns out mom was right: Never trust a lady with a chest tattoo.
