According to Police, the robbery happened around 7:35 am Saturday, March 26. Robertson had just gotten home and was walking towards her front door when a car stopped in front of her house, a man with a gun got out and he demanded she gives him money.

Roberston threw everything she was holding toward the suspect. The suspect then searched her pockets before picking up her purse, running back to the car, and taking off.

According to FOX 26 Houston, Roberston said she is now nervous “when I go outside. I have to protect myself getting in my car, and I have to protect myself when I get home from work. It’s crazy,” she told

The victim says the suspect got away with the $3,900 she had after just cashing her income tax check. She planned to use the money to take care of her son, who is confined to a wheelchair, according to News 19.

“He cried, I mean really hard. ‘Momma I’m sorry I couldn’t help you,’” Tonya’s son told her after the robbery.

She wasn’t hurt in the incident.
