A woman in her 40s reported being tied to a tree at gunpoint in the Pebble Beach area of Monterey County on Wednesday before being later freed by passersby, according to a press release from the Monterey County Sheriff's Office.
The woman told sheriff's deputies that she was walking on a trail at 7:30 a.m. in a wooded area between Haul Road and state Highway 68 when she noticed a man following her.
The man allegedly approached her with a gun and led her to a tree, where he allegedly tied her up and then left without injuring, assaulting or robbing her, according to the Sheriff's Office.
The woman was there for about two hours before someone walking on the trail noticed her. Another person then passed by and the two untied her and called authorities.
The Sheriff's Office described the suspect as a Hispanic man in his 30s wearing a green hat and grey sweater. He had a tattoo on the right side of his neck with a word beginning with the letter "z."
A search of the area by sheriff's deputies, a Cal Fire drone team, and security personnel from Pebble Beach Resorts, which is about 2 miles south of the location, was unsuccessful.
False reports of an active shooter circulated online after the incident, leading staff at the nearby Stevenson School, a private school with grades from preschool through 12th grade, to place the campus on lockdown.
The Pebble Beach Company, which owns Pebble Beach Resorts, also issued a shelter-in-place order at its nearby maintenance yard, but the Sheriff's Office said there was never any active shooter and there was never a report of shots fired in connection with the incident.
The Sheriff's Office asked for help identifying a potential witness, a woman dressed in black who was walking a large, black dog, so she can be interviewed.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Monterey County Sheriff's Office at (831) 755-5111.
I hate it when that happens.
BDSM on a golf course, 🤔 no harm, 🤔 guess he couldn’t get his putter out…..

Guy was just upset at the Greens Fees.
It wasn’t Laz. He’s always trying to get women to tie HIM to a tree.
The Zodiac
This sounds like BS.
Sounds suspicious. Like she was not home when she was supposed to be.
My buddy live along Poppy Hills golf course. No way the man got away without being on camera. Everything in and out of that area is filmed and documented.
More likely one of the putin fans who use that idiotic “word”.
I guess if I had to be tied to a tree at gun point, Pebble Beach would be a better location that a lot of other places...
It could have been worse. She could have been tied to a tree in New York City.
If the foo Shites...
Zorro! At the sign of the Z!
He must have thought she was a stray.
“Thanks for bringing her home. Most guys leave her tied to the tree.”
If you remember that one you are very very old.
weird story....
