A Calvert man is in jail after a woman was attacked from behind and robbed Monday afternoon in a College Station restaurant parking lot.

Sergeant Travis Lacox says 29-year-old Antarius Ashley was captured because of two witnesses; one who followed his escape vehicle and described it and him to police, and one, the driver of the escape vehicle, who ordered the suspect out after learning that a robbery had been committed.

The attack and purse-snatching happened just after noon in the Denny’s parking lot near the intersection of Texas and University.

The case is still under investigation.
