Jose Alejandro Romero: Austin Teen Tries To Rob Gas Station With Caulk Gun, Fails
Oh Austin. Must your efforts to keep weird extend even to armed robberies?
Apparently so. Last week, A-Town cops issued a warrant for Jose Alejandro Romero, a 17-year-old man who stands accused of injuring a gas station attendant while attempting to rob him with a caulk gun. And just for that little added twist of weirdness, police records say that the alleged assailant fled the scene with a male prostitute he’d been partying with for much of what sounds like a long and wild night.
According to an affidavit issued by the Travis County Sheriff’s Office, 68-year-old Johnnie Limuel, a clerk at the Speedy Stop on East 51st Street, told police that a man in drag — later identified as Kenneth Williams, a transient — had come in at 4 a.m. on June 7 and purchased a pack of smokes and $5 worth of gas.
