The suspect told him to stop before entering the roadway, and the man got out of the car and started walking toward Willow Trail Parkway. He didn't start running until the victim yelled at some employees at Havoline Express Oil Change Shop next door to call 911.
The suspect ran toward the woodline of the nearby Garden Ridge. Police searched the area with a K9 but was not able to find the suspect.
The victim told police that his wallet and iPhone also were taken in the robbery. He tried to track his iPhone online, but because the suspect turned off the phone, he said he couldn't track it down.
He described the suspect as being a 5'10" black male who wore a gray hoodie and black pants. He weighed 160 pounds and had brown eyes and a large gap between his two front teeth.
