A man who thought that he was meeting a woman at her house before their date got a lot more than he bargained for when he was met by two gun-toting men who took everything he had - including his clothes.
The man, who is not being named, drove to the house in Dania Beach Saturday to pick up his date, but was perturbed when he saw two men waiting in a black Toyota Corolla near the home.
The 'date' assured him by text they were just her neighbor's sons, but when he approached the house, they pulled guns on him and told him to strip, The Sun Sentinel reported.
The men took his clothing, .40 caliber pistol, wallet, iPhone 6, jewelry and 2014 Mercedes-Benz before driving off.
The iPhone had been left in the man's car when it was stolen, so police used its 'Find My iPhone' feature to track it down to a gas station in Lauderhill.
However, the moment they arrived, the suspect took off in the white Mercedes, resulting in a car chase that ended in Tamarac, where the driver escaped on foot.
He was caught shortly afterwards and found to have the victim's wallet and legally owned Glock 27 pistol - as well as the car keys for a nearby black Toyota Corolla containing a gun, handcuffs, gloves and duct tape.
The suspect, 29-year-old William Gonzalez of Coral Springs, then gave a 'detailed confession,' The Sun Sentinel reported, in which he admitted to committing the robbery with a man named 'Savage.'
He said the mystery date was an acquaintance of his who'd been texting the victim to keep up the pretense of the date.
He also admitted to being involved in another robbery, carjacking and kidnapping incident Friday, though authorities were not releasing details of that crime.
Gonzalez, who has three children and had previously worked in advertising, told a court Friday that his bank account was overdrawn.
He will remain in jail until a hearing on Thursday. It is not known if he will contest the allegations of carjacking and brandishing a firearm during a violent crime.
