A detective with the San Antonio Police Department said in an arrest affidavit that an officer was helping with a traffic accident July 28 when a man and a woman approached him saying they were just robbed at gunpoint.
The woman told the officer her male friend had given her a ride home from work and while they were hanging out in the parking lot, Hawkins showed up with a gun and pushed her friend to the ground.
She told the officer she previously dated Hawkins, but ended the relationship because he was jealous.
According to the affidavit, Hawkins took the man's money, cellphone and watch. After hitting the woman multiple times and threatening to kill them, Hawkins took his ex-girlfriend's money and cellphone.
Hawkins was taken into custody Saturday and is now facing a charge of aggravated robbery. His bond was set at $100,000.
