Police said that when Foxx saw what was happening from his car parked outside of the store, he went to his girlfriend's aid, threatened the store manager and tried to help her escape.

"He sees that she's in trouble so he goes on in the store and tries to help her escape, goes on in through one of the open doors next to the one that was locked, tells her come on out this way," Sgt. Daniel Alonzo of the San Antonio Police Department's Robbery Task Force said.

San Antonio police told ABC News that

Foxx, 27, yelled his proposal to Woods while the two were being questioned separately at the station. Woods, 24, said yes, according to KSAT.

They were charged with aggravated robbery. Foxx insisted he did nothing wrong.

"I ain't robbed nobody. They tried to hurt my girl," he said to reporters as he was taken to the police car and to jail.
