On 02/06/2026 at about 0126 hours, St. Paul Police responded to a residence on Mount Airy St in St. Paul, Ramsey County for a report of an in-progress domestic assault. The complainant, a 13 year old girl, said that her mother's boyfriend was assaulting and choking her mother. Officers made entry into the residence and found the suspect, identified as Willie B. ROBINSON ([DOB redacted]), at the top of the stairs. ROBINSON came downstairs and was detained. The Complainant’s mother, TRC, was found in an upstairs bathroom.
TRC had red and blue bruising on the right side of her neck that wrapped around to the front of her throat. She was also bleeding from scratches on her leg. TRC was visibly upset and hesitant to speak to police. TRC said she was lying on her bed praying which caused ROBINSON, who was intoxicated, to become aggressive. ROBINSON put a hand around her neck and said "b****", "b**** I'll kill you", "b**** I'll hurt you". When TRC tried to fight back, her daughter called 911. In response to blueprint questions, TRC said her voice was hoarse/raspy and that the inside of her throat was sore.
A male child, JRC (age 11), said he saw ROBINSON choke his mother. He and a female child, TSC (age 13), both said ROBINSON hit them in the face with a closed fist but neither appeared injured. Also present in the home was a 9 year old female child, LR, who said TRC and ROBINSON were arguing and physically fighting. She said ROBINSON also yelled at her, made a fist, and swung it at her. LR said ROBINSON had "whooped" her in the past. In a post-Miranda interview, ROBINSON said he was asleep and TRC woke him up by hitting him because she was drunk and upset about money.
ROBINSON said TRC " put her hands on me first" which led to him having scratches on his body. ROBINSON had a scratch on his neck, redness on his chest, and multiple scratch marks on both sides of his back.
