Three people are facing criminal charges after they held an Oklahoma City man they met on Tinder against his will.
“This started about as a man meeting a female on a dating app," Oklahoma City Police MSgt. Gary Knight told KOCO.
The man matched with the woman on the dating app, and she invited him to a house party with two of her friends. He went and brought alcohol for the party.
An argument started at the party when the man started asking people to pay him back for the drinks. That's when the three people - identified as Luis Servondo Almanza, 21, Aaronanna Morning Martinez, 19, and Sierra Petit, 26 - turned on the man, according to police reports.
The group allegedly pointed a sawed-off shotgun at the man and threatened to take everything he had. They held the man at gunpoint for several hours and broke his phone.
The trio then forced the man into a car and held a knife to his throat as they drove around Oklahoma City. They took him to multiple ATMs and forced him to buy them clothes at various stores.
The group held the man against his will for nine hours before returning to the house and freeing him. They threatened to hurt the man and his family if he went to police.
The man immediately reported the three people to the cops. Almanza, Martinez, and Petit were arrested on Friday, September 3, and charged with kidnapping and aggravated robbery, The City Sentinel reported.
