DENTON - After a pizza restaurant employee fought off a robber, his disguise fell off to reveal something shocking; he was an employee's father.

The daughter of the man who attempted to rob the Denton Pizza Patron while she was on duty said she didn't know of her father's plans.

"Rudy hit him and the wig fell off and the glasses flew away and that's when I knew it was my dad," said Stephanie Martinez, Benjamin Ramirez's daughter.

Martinez said she was in shock.

"It hurt more than anything else," she said.

Ramirez punched her co-worker and demanded money.

"We were yelling at him, 'Get up,'" Martinez said. "And he got up and fell again, and he was following us and he was like, 'Give me the money.' He was still telling me, 'Give me the money.' That's why I was like, 'What the heck is wrong with him.'"

In addition to Ramirez's arrest, Martinez's mother and her husband were also arrested.

"Whenever they told me my husband had something to do with it I just fell on the floor," she said. "He was supposed to be with our daughter."

Police said they found Martinez's husband driving the getaway car and her mother in the passenger seat. But, Martinez said she blames her father, who is a convicted felon.

"I've never been around my dad," she said. "He's always been in prison. I love him and everything, but he has to pay for what he did, I guess."

Martinez said she was actually scared of her father during the robbery.

"What if he would have shot at Rudy or me just to get the money?" she said.

Police said the gun was a toy gun.

Martinez's husband bonded out of jail. She said she believes both he and her mother did not know anything about the robbery.

While the owner told Martinez to take some time off, she said she will not be returning because she is too embarrassed.
