A man told police that Woods and Foster-Jones lured him to a house around 10 p.m. Feb. 11 in the 4600 block of Midway Avenue, where the man said that Woods had a handgun and both robbed him of money and other personal property, according to an affidavit.

After that, the man said that Woods and Foster-Jones threatened him and forced him to get into his vehicle, drive to ATMs and try to withdraw money before finally making him get out of the vehicle and stealing it, the affidavit said.

Woods remains in the Montgomery County Jail but Foster-Jones is free awaiting sentencing.
