“Walker allegedly approached a male sitting in a car,” Sgt. Doug Stewart said. “The suspect opened the passenger door of the vehicle and pointed a handgun at the victim demanding money.”

Walker allegedly made off with $72 dollars, but was fingered in a lineup.

“Det. Beauty Benjamin had the victim look at a lineup,” Stewart said. “The victim identified Mr. Walker.”

Police picked up Walker and also found out he had three other warrants — two criminal mischief third degree charges and domestic violence harassment.

Officers placed Walker in the Dallas County Jail under a $30,000 bond and cash-only bonds of $824.05, $962 and $397.
