A Naples man was arrested for multiple robberies over a two week span and beating his victims with a baseball bat, the Collier County Sheriff's Office said.

21-year-old Urijah Williams is accused of robbing and beating a man with a baseball bat in early July.

The victim told deputies that he was sitting in his vehicle outside of a Food Mart when Williams and a woman later identified as Ashley Macias, approached him with a bat. When Williams asked him for money, the victim sped off, CCSO said.

Williams later followed the victim to a Publix parking lot where he smash the drivers window, beat him and took off with his phone and debit card.
