Earlier this month, Top Right News reported the story of Detroit’s James Robertson, who walked 21 miles every day to get to and from work. The 56-year-old factory worker makes $10.55 per hour making plastic parts in a factory. He walked the commute because his car had broken down 10 years earlier and he did not have enough money to replace it, and additionally, there was no bus which covered his route.

After reading Robertson’s inspirational story, Evan Leedy created a crowdfunding page to assist in raising enough money for Robertson to buy a car. By the next day, the site had raised nearly $43,000, on the way to a final total of $350,000. However, it turned out that Robertson would not need the money for a car after all, as a Woodhaven, Michigan Chevrolet dealer offered Robertson a free 2014 Chevrolet Cruz or Sonic after sales manager Darwin Filey discovered the story.

Less than a month later, the story has turned much darker for Robertson. With his story becoming so popular and well-known, neighbors began to ask for money, with some even threatening violence. The area around Robertson’s home became so contentious that Detroit Police had to be summoned to patrol the area. Robertson has since been moved to a secret location.
