Chief Deputy Chuck Cox unabashedly responded to the outcry about Robison being held with biological male inmates by stating that suspects are assigned purely on the basis of their physical characteristics.

The police chief of Harker Heights commended his officers and other emergency responders while the media highlighted concerns about potential discrimination against transgender inmates.
He reminded everyone that Robison’s life was undoubtedly saved by their actions.
