Washington state woman arrested after online dating holdup

BOSTON (AP) — Online dating ended in disaster for a man in Boston who tells police his date pulled out a stun gun and robbed him.

The man told authorities he met the woman at a local hotel Tuesday morning after they connected on an online dating app. He says that after talking for about 30 minutes the woman threatened him with a Taser while she went through his pockets, taking about $100.

Police say the woman is from Washington state. She was arrested after the man escaped the room and notified hotel security, and is expected to be arraigned on a charge of armed robbery.
