A police report states Robertson is accused of holding a victim at gunpoint at the apartment complex, stealing his cell phone and vehicle before fleeing the scene.

The vehicle was recovered a short time later, according to the report, which states investigators then contacted Robertson and learned he had also been involved in a convenience store robbery earlier in the week.

No further information has been released, but additional charges against Robertson could be pending in both Nolan and Taylor counties.
