One of two Iowa men charged with robbing, duct-taping and then dumping two women in Albert Lea pleaded guilty Monday to his charge.

Trayvon Marquis Forrest, 22, of Fort Dodge, Iowa, pleaded guilty to one count of simple robbery, a felony, as part of a plea agreement with his lawyer and the Freeborn County Attorney’s Office.

His sentencing has not yet been scheduled.

According to court documents, Forrest and co-defendant Michael Lee Kraft, 18, also of Fort Dodge, gave two 18-year-old women from Wisconsin a ride on Interstate 35 when Forrest grabbed the women by the throats, hit them in the face and then wrapped duct tape over their mouth and eyes.

Forrest was a passenger in the car.

Court documents state that after about five minutes, the car came to a stop in Albert Lea, and the two men reportedly forced the women out of the car and then drove away.

The women ran to the A-Lea Apartments on Jansen Street, where they called police.

The two men reportedly stole more than $2,000 in cash, along with purses and suitcases.

Kraft has not yet entered a plea.
