Miami Man Went Out for a Night of Fun — Then Woke Up Drugged, Robbed, and Alone

A Miami man is claiming he was robbed of thousands of dollars by a woman he met while out for a night of fun in the city’s Brickell neighborhood, according to reporting by NBC Miami.

The 31-year-old man, who requested anonymity, told the outlet that he met the woman, who claimed to be a tourist, at a bar on May 2. The pair went to another bar in Wynwood before returning to the man’s home to have drinks.

But when he woke up the next afternoon alone, with no memory of what had happened after the drinks, he realized he had been robbed of $3,000 in cash and his Rolex watch.

“It’s a scary feeling because it can really happen to anybody,” he told NBC Miami. “To be made so vulnerable and have somebody touching your unconscious body and rummaging through your stuff — it’s a very eerie feeling.”

“You were planning that the whole night,” he added. “Since you saw me. That’s just evil.”

Miami police did not directly address the allegations in the NBC article, but forwarded PEOPLE police reports of similar recent arrests — which a spokesperson described as “bad date” crimes — involving women allegedly targeting men. 

Authorities told NBC Miami that the type of crime has become more prevalent in recent months.
