Corpus Christi Police responded to a business after a witness called in about an armed robbery that had just occurred.

Officers arrived at the business located at 4030 Weber Road and were told by a witness that the 67 year old female, who had been robbed, had taken off chasing the suspect in her car.

Responding officers found the suspect and the victim in the 4100 block of Cott Street. The female victim told officers that she was the owner of the business and was opening the front door when a male pushed her from behind and forced himself inside.

Once inside, the male placed a knife by the victim’s abdomen and ordered her to give him money from the register. As the male held the victim from behind in a choke hold, he pressed the knife harder against the victim’s abdomen and ordered her to hurry up. The victim fearing for her life grabbed a pair of scissors to defend herself. The male let go of the victim and grabbed her wallet as he ran out of the business.

The victim, who was not injured,  got in her vehicle and set off to search for the suspect as a bystander called the police. The victim told officers that she located the suspect walking on Cott St. and demanded her wallet back. The male gave the elderly woman her wallet, but kept the money that was inside.

At that time is when officers arrived and arrested Jesus Jimenez (06/28/1962) for aggravated robbery. Officers recovered the victim’s money which was in the suspect’s pants pocket and also located the knife used in the robbery nearby.
