Naples man accused of robbing, threatening to kill woman during car ride from grocery store

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. —

A Naples man was arrested on April 3 after being accused of stealing from a woman while driving her back from Seed to Table.

According to the Collier County Sheriff's Office arrest report, deputies responded to a woman who called them from a 7-Eleven gas station, stating she had just been robbed.

The victim told deputies she had been at Seed to Table and had been having drinks with a man, later identified as Timothy Forman, 51, according to the report.

The victim decided to leave with Forman, and the pair left Seed to Table at around 11 p.m. The victim said that while driving with Forman, his demeanor suddenly changed, and he began driving the victim to an area she was unfamiliar with, the arrest report said.

The victim said that Forman then grabbed her black Prada bag off her, which was slung around her with a silver chain, which broke when Forman grabbed the bag off the victim, the report said. Forman then told the victim to get out of the car, or he would kill her.

The victim said Forman stole her bag, driver's license, multiple debit cards, a credit card, approximately $500 in cash and more.

The victim was able to snap a photo of Forman's license plate, which led deputies to pull him over near Goodlette Frank Road and Bayfront Plaza at around 11:52 p.m.

Forman was detained, and deputies searched his car, where they found the Prada bag with a broken chain, the victim's cards and about $424 in cash.

Forman told deputies the cash was his and that he had been driving the victim to his home when she "went crazy," leading him to kick her out of his car, the report said.

Forman was arrested and faces a charge of robbery — unarmed.
