According to an arrest report, the woman was picking up her son at a gas station on Commercial Boulevard and Powerline Road when Robinson, a woman identified as Shomeka Harris and their young son got into the backseat.
Deputies said Robinson told the woman to drive, pointed a gun at her and said, "Don't call the police. I'll blow your head off," and "I'll kill you if you don't give me money."
