A 28-year-old Florida man was arrested on Monday for allegedly trying to rob a 65-year-old woman’s home while impersonating a UPS driver, the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel reported.

Sheriff’s officials in Broward County charged Allen Perez with robbery with a firearm and aggravated assault after first telling the alleged victim she had to sign for a package in order to be allowed inside her Pompano Beach home on Feb. 27. Authorities said Perez brought two boxes — one empty, the other containing eight plastic zip ties and a roll of duct tape — and a clipboard.

WTVJ-TV reported that when the alleged victim, identified as Marie Jean Pierre, took his clipboard, the suspect reportedly took a handgun out of his waistband. Pierre then reportedly pushed him away and screamed for help.

Perez is also accused of attacking Pierre’s neighbor, 44-year-old Claudia Kretzer, after seeing Kretzer holding a phone, under the belief Kretzer had taken pictures of himself and his car. Perez reportedly wrestled Kretzer to the ground and took her phone.

Authorities also found that Perez is on probation in Palm Beach County for aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony in New York state.
