An ex-Whataburger employee who authorities say threatened to kill his manager over his firing last year at a Northeast Side location was re-arrested over the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Robert Perry Jr., 33, has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon stemming from a July 26 incident at the Whataburger\u00a0at 13900 O’Connor Road near Madison High School. He was arrested and is now\u00a0at the Bexar County jail with bail set at $60,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This is his second arrest in connection with the case. He was first taken into custody in August but was released after posting bond.<\/p>\n
San Antonio police did not immediately respond to a request for comment on why he was released or what led to his re-arrest.<\/p>\n
At the time of the incident, the\u00a0Whataburger manager told police he was about to fire Perry when the situation escalated, according to the San Antonio Police Department.<\/p>\n
Perry got upset and began to yell at the manager. The manager then asked him to leave the property. Police say Perry then took out a knife and began threatening him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to police, Perry said, “I’m not afraid of jail,” “I have a murder under my belt,” “I will follow you home,” “I’ll be back,” and “I will kill you.” Perry then left the\u00a0Whataburger in a blue sedan. The manager provided police with footage of the incident, and while no knife was seen on video, the threats were clearly heard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
