But after catching up, the victim told deputies that's when Jackson pulled out a handgun and demanded his wallet, car keys and cellphone, according to the affidavit.

The affidavit stated Jackson was seen on surveillance video running away to a nearby neighborhood while holding the handgun and stolen items.

Jackson is now being charged with aggravated robbery, a second-degree felony. His bail has been set at $75,000.
