Eugene Robertson pointed a gun at a Burger King drive-thru after he couldn't pay for his meal with drugs, and that was just the start of his crime spree that night.
Close to midnight on October 17, 2022, Robertson drove into the drive-thru of the Burger King just south of East Alameda Parkway and South Buckley Road, about a mile east of the Aurora Mall. After ordering, he tried to buy his meal with drugs, according to an affidavit by Aurora Police. A man inside the store saw Robertson point the gun at the clerk and fire, so he dropped his iPhone and ran out of the 7-11 to get his own gun. When Robertson came out of the store, the two got into an argument that led Robertson to shoot three or four times at the man, who fired two shots back. No one was injured from the gunshots, but multiple witnesses saw the firefight unfold. Robertson also took off with the phone that the man dropped inside the store.
While being arrested, Robertson told police that he wasn't physically hurt, but his"feelings were hurt," according to the affidavit. He also gave a false name, telling police he was Jermaine Rosenburg. His driver's license showed that this apartment complex was also where he lived, and only a few doors down from the apartment he was trying to enter.
When police asked what he did with his gun, Robertson"seemed shocked" and said he didn't know what they were talking about, according to police.
Robertson was facing 400 years behind bars if the judge gave him a maximum sentence. Four counts were dismissed, including one attempted murder charge, two kidnapping charges and one for harassment.
