The 64-year-old bingo player had also been playing slots when the suspect saw her winnings and followed her for several hours, the account of the Oct. 12 incident says. After the player went to her car, the suspect allegedly struck the window, threatened to kill her and demanded money. The player reversed her vehicle, knocking the suspect to the ground, then drove away. San Antonio police identified a woman in an image released by Crime Stoppers as a suspect; no name was given.
No additional details about an arrest or the suspect's identity have been released.
Texas law defines robbery to include trying to obtain or keep control of property while threatening someone with, or putting them in fear of, imminent bodily injury or death. The statute classifies robbery as a second-degree felony. That legal definition provides context for the alleged threat and demand for money in this case, but it does not establish that a charge has been filed or determine how prosecutors may classify the incident. The Texas Penal Code sets out the elements and classification of robbery.
