The woman said the intruder grabbed her and she tore off his bandanna during the struggle, revealing her grandson's face.
Clark, who left with the woman's purse, was arrested about 4 hours later at his parents' home. He told police he robbed his grandmother because two of his friends convinced him it was a good way to get money for a casino trip.
The victim, who told police Clark broke into her home and stole a TV last year, said she was recovering from cuts and bruises to her wrist and neck.
Clark was arraigned on felony charges Saturday and ordered held in lieu of $15,000 bail.
