Robert Graham The Fresno man who said to have posed as a teen girl to commit robbery in Fresno County lied about doing so, the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office said.
Deputies say they responded to the area of Manning and Walnut Avenues where they contacted a man who reported he had pulled over near an orchard and was resting in his car when suddenly, another man pulled him out of the vehicle, beat him with a baseball bat, and robbed his car and cell phone, fleeing in the victim’s vehicle.
According to sheriff’s officials on Wednesday, the suspect, 19-year-old Isaac Solano, was spotted in the stolen vehicle a day later with a young woman inside. Solano said he engaged with the victim in an online conversation where he posed as a female teenager. An agreement was made to meet for sexual favors, but the plan all along was to set him up to be robbed.
