Police were able to identify Robinson after a "detailed suspect description from the survivor" and were able to find and arrest him with help from the Orlando Police Department. Robinson was located Monday at the Orange County Library and brought in to the UCF Police Department where he was taken into custody and subsequently transported to the Orange County Jail.
On Sunday night, Robinson and a woman got off the same Lynx bus, police said. That's when he allegedly followed her to bring her the water bottle she left on the bus, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into the parking garage stairwell, police said. The woman told police she was then sexually battered by the man, according to an arrest affidavit.
