One landscaper reacts to being robbed in a possible jugging in Houston last month.
FOX 26 Reporter Randy Wallace spoke with one landscaper who was targeted by the robbers."Anything could have happened, and I didn't want to lose my life," said one landscaper who asked not to be identified, so we will call him Mike.Kidnapped teen escapes after being held captive in Humble home for a monthMike didn't know it at the time, but a black Jaguar followed him from the bank at Kirby and Bissonnet back to his job site in the 3700 of Purdue.
"This masked person tried to get into my truck, and took my money. I started wrestling with him," he said. "It was paycheck for the guys," said Mike. "I was like one way or another, I need to try and get that money, because there was no way to recover that money."The five guys working nearby went after the robber.
"They approached him with a hoe, and started hitting him, and he ended up running a different way," Mike said."I got into his car, and I was going to pursue him in his own car," he said. "But I wasn't able to, because I didn't know how to maneuver that car. It was a really nice newer model." The robber returned in a second getaway car as he was after his Jaquar and his phone. Once again, he pulled a gun on Mike but didn't fire.Mike says it's been hard to recover from the money he lost. He's married with kids and the family's sole provider.
"I have to keep working. I have to keep doing what I do, because it's the only thing I know how to do," Mike said.
