The Fayette

County Sheriff's Department has arrested a Fayetteville man for the armed

robbery of a woman at her north Fayette home last week.

Joshua Wade

Gates, 20, used a black handgun when he entered a residence in the Dix-Lee-On

subdivision and took three credit cards from the victim Dec. 10, according

to warrants for his arrest.

The victim

was tied and bound with duct tape by Gates, who also prevented her from

leaving the residence or calling for help, the warrants indicate.

During the

incident, Gates forced the victim to move from the kitchen to the den

area, the warrants said.

Gates entered

the residence with the intent to steal jewelry, warrants said. He got

away with two credit cards, intending to use them without the owner's

permission, according to warrants.

Gates is charged

with felony counts of armed robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, kidnapping,

possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and two counts

of felony identity fraud.
