CLEWISTON — On Monday night, April 27, 2026, Hendry County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) deputies responded to a home on East State Road 80 after receiving a call reporting a robbery.

Upon their arrival, deputies met with the 52-year-old victim. He reported he had been sitting outside when approached by two unknown male subjects wearing hooded sweatshirts and face coverings. It was reported the victim was forcefully pushed to the ground and beaten several times in the face with a handgun, while suspects demanded money. The suspects then tied and bound the victim’s hands and feet with what was described as zip ties.

The victim’s wife was inside the residence and witnessed the incident taking place and then ran outside to help her husband. Deputies on scene were told it was at this time a second subject approached her, placing a knife to her side. The wife was then taken back into the residence where she surrendered $18,000 in cash to the suspects.

Detectives continued to follow up on leads finding a number of inconsistencies in the wife’s story. Through questioning it was found that the victim’s wife, 64-year-old Flora Norys Gonzalez had known one of the suspects and reprotedly helped orchestrate the attack on her husband. Gonzalez told Detectives that the plan had gone wrong, so she offered the suspect money to stop.

On April 29, 2026, detectives arrested 64-year-old Flora Norys Gonzalez on charges of aggravated battery causing bodily harm, armed robbery, armed burglary and false imprisonment. Gonzalez is currently being held in the Hendry County Jail.

Also arrested was Jose Enrique Calafet Perez, 48 years of age, charged with aggravated battery causing bodily harm, armed robbery, armed burglary and false imprisonment; and Maykel Calafet Calderon, 42 years of age, charged with aggravated battery causing bodily harm, armed robbery, armed burglary, false imprisonment and grand theft.

All three subjects are being held with no bond.
