SAN ANTONIO - A Judson football player who recently signed a letter of intent to play for Texas A&M University was arrested Tuesday morning, Bexar County Sheriff's Office spokesman James Keith said.

Alton Robinson, the No. 1 high school football recruit in San Antonio, was picked up around 10:20 a.m. at Judson High School, Judson ISD spokesman Steve Linscomb said. Robinson, 17, was charged with robbery, Keith said.

Keith said the arrest came after Robinson's ex-girlfriend filed a criminal complaint with a BCSO investigator on Monday.

The ex-girlfriend told the investigator that on Feb. 9, she came home from a store around 11:15 p.m. and found Robinson hiding in some bushes near her driveway, Keith said.

As she attempted to go in the house, she said Robinson ripped her purse off her shoulder and ran away, Keith said. She was slightly injured during the struggle. As she chased Robinson, he dropped the purse but took her cell phone, Keith said.
