A man said after he met a white female at La Marcena 2 bar, he went by to get some money, then he wound up getting robbed by the woman and another man.
He said his clothes and shoes were taken in the process.
Garcia Florentino said he and the woman left the bar around 2 a.m. and went in a red Mustang convertible to a friend's house in East Lake to get the money to buy alcohol. He said they picked up a white male and then went to a gas station on Rossville Boulevard.
He said the woman and man then ordered him to give them the money, and they also took his clothes and shoes before driving off in the convertible.
The man said he began walking home to Dalton, and was stopped by a Catoosa County Sheriff's deputy, who gave him some pants. He was then taken back to the bar.
Florentino told Chattanooga Police he did not want to prosecute. He said he just wanted a ride home to Dalton.
