A capital murder warrant was issued for Robertson, a former Rusk County Sheriff’s deputy, in the shooting death of Texas Department of Public Safety trooper James Scott Burns, 39, of Linden during a high speed chase Tuesday night.

Authorities had tracked Robertson through information gained from calls he made to a local 911 center, as well as through investigative tactics and many calls to a tip line that had been set up to give a $30,000 reward.


Jennifer Lynne Petrick
Police said Robertson’s girlfriend, 36-year-old Jennifer Lynne Petrick was taken into custody at the scene for allegedly aiding Robertson. Criminal charges are pending against Petrick, who will be booked into the Cass County Jail.
