A pair of alleged Craigslist scam artists are facing numerous charges after robbing a man at gunpoint during a sex for money deal made through the popular website.
According to police, a man reported being robbed when he went to meet the prostitute he contacted through a Craigslist ad. The man said Beers told him to pull into a driveway and then she got into his car, police said. Then, a grey car pulled in, blocking the victim's car, police said.
Henderson got out of the grey car, pointed a gun at the victim and demanded to know what he was doing with his girl, police said. Beers made arrangements to meet an undercover officer and she arrived in a grey vehicle driven by Henderson, police said. Both suspects were arrested and interviewed and later a firearm was located in Henderson's Emerald Lake home located near the site of the robbery, police said.
Beers and Henderson were both charged with robbery, criminal conspiracy to commit robbery, criminal use of a communication facility, possession of an instrument of a crime, terroristic threats, theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property, and simple assault.
