AUSTIN (KXAN) — A man who has been arrested 55 times is wanted in connection with a robbery in which he allegedly stole a necklace from a legally blind man.

According to jail records, Charles Ramirez, 37, was out of Travis County Jail on a general release on Nov. 2. According to an affidavit, five days later he robbed a man at his south Austin home.

Police responded to a 911 call Nov. 7 around 8:43 p.m. in the 1300 block of Falcon Cove. The victim told police he was talking on the phone when a man burst in through his front door. The victim is legally blind, but has partial vision in his left eye.

The victim said the suspect came up to him and said, “What you got! What you got!” As the suspect approached, the victim said he saw an object in the suspect’s hand and heard the “distinct sound of the slide to a semi-automatic firearm being racked,” the affidavit said. The victim raised his arm and felt the gun, and then the man pointed it at his head, according to the affidavit.

The victim said he was “startled and shocked, and felt his life flash before his eyes” and he thought he was going to die. The victim said the suspect then ripped off his necklace.

The chain had a gold medallion with the number 55 formed on it in diamonds, along with a 1910 “Indian Head” $5 coin on it.

Police found the necklace two days later at a pawn shop less than a mile away from the victim’s home, and records showed the seller was Ramirez. Police say Ramirez has been arrested 55 times since 1998, including on charges of DWI, driving without a license, theft and aggravated assault.

Records show he is not in custody, but when he is bond will be set at $15,000.
