A Hillsborough County woman successfully fought off a man who physically assaulted her in her apartment complex's gym.Nashali Alma, 24, was exercising alone. She let the suspect into the gym because she had seen him in the gym previously,"Usually, people forget their key tags and fobs. We do let them in and so I let the gentleman in. I didn't think twice about letting him in. I was in the middle of my workout," said Alma.
Thomas-Jones was able to pin Alma on the floor, but Alma continued to fight him off while attempting to call 911. "I was disgusted by the suspect's actions, how he preyed on this young woman," said Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister.
