Police said officers went to a Northwest Side home earlier that day for a disturbance report.
The victim, a 67-year-old woman, told police her son, Alvarez, showed up at her home and assaulted her.
Alvarez then followed his mom into her bedroom and took her money and a necklace, according to an arrest affidavit.
Before officers arrived at the home, Alvarez took off on foot, the affidavit said.
Police said the woman had a visible red mark on her neck and complained of back pain.
According to online records, Alvarez has a lengthy criminal history that dates back more than a decade. He has previous arrests on suspicion of assault, injury to a disabled person causing bodily injury and making a terroristic threat.
Online records also show Alvarez has served prison time after being convicted in 2008 of injury to a child and aggravated robbery charges.
His bail has been set at $25,000.
