A man who came to Tacoma last week for a blind date he’d arranged over the Internet told police he got robbed instead.
The Tukwila resident, 38, reported the alleged robbery Thursday.
He told an officer he drove to a house in the 3200 block of North 27th Street on Oct. 18 to pick up “Ashley,” whom he’d met in an Internet chat room.
When he arrived, he said, he was told to wait for Ashley, who was upstairs. Then, he said, a large man came in and demanded to know who he was, the report stated. When the Tukwila resident responded that he was there to pick up Ashley, the large man – described as 5-foot, 9 inches tall and 300 pounds – yelled, “Ashley’s a minor.” He then demanded the Tukwila man’s cash, according to the report.
When Ashley’s would-be suitor said he didn’t have any, the large man forced him to drive to a nearby convenience store and withdraw $160 cash from an ATM, police reported.
The Tukwila man later told police he never got to meet Ashley and suspects the whole thing was a set-up.
When asked why he didn’t report the robbery sooner, the man said he didn’t want his girlfriend to find out he was trolling for other dates online, the report stated
