Authorities are warning the public to be careful on dating apps after a man trying to meet up with a woman was kidnapped and robbed by two people in aA 30-year-old man called 911 on Saturday to report that he had gone to an apartment complex to meet in person with someone he met on Plenty of Fish.
Over the course of three hours, deputies said the suspects forced the victim to unlock his cellphone and attempt to transfer them money. A $6,000 transaction did not go through because it was flagged as fraudulent. Investigators said as deputies tried to handcuff 22-year-ol Jahmichael Anthony Jeter III, he attempted to reach for a gun in his pocket. Deputies kept him from drawing his weapon, handcuffed him and put him in the back of a patrol car.
Prosecutors charged Jeter with first-degree robbery, first-degree kidnapping, first-degree extortion, first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm, and first-degree malicious mischief. He is being held in the Pierce County Jail with bail set at $125,000.
