On Tuesday around 8:30 p.m., Bristol Borough officers were dispatched to the Dollar Tree at 200 Commerce Circle in Bristol for the report of a robbery that had just occurred.
The perpetrator – later identified as Robinson – was described by dispatch as a tall and thin black male, who was wearing a gray sweatshirt and black sweatpants.
According to court documents, the caller told police that Robinson entered the store, handed the cashier a handwritten note demanding everything in the cash register. When the cashier said no, Robinson told them they don’t want to “waste [their] life over some money”. The cashier responded by opening the cash register drawer and Robinson reached over and grabbed $70 before fleeing the store on foot.

Robinson was found with $60 in his possession.
He was arraigned and remanded to the Bucks County Correctional Facility on 10 percent of $50,000 bail.
