Officers took a Colorado woman into custody after she bound her Tinder date’s limbs with duct tape and held him captive at knifepoint in her apartment.
22-year-old Lauren Dooley faces second-degree charges of kidnapping and assault in addition to menacing and false imprisonment.
On Sept. 28, the victim, identified as a 21-year-old male, agreed to meet up with Dooley at her Colorado Springs apartment after the two connected on the dating app Tinder.
After the victim arrived, Dooley performed sex acts on him before binding his wrists and ankles with duct tape.
“The victim found it odd but consented to it. However, when Lauren produced a kitchen knife, and demanded he get into her bedroom, the victim no longer consented to staying at the residence,” the police report read.
Fearing for his life, the victim told authorities, “I agreed to get into Lauren’s bed, where she proceeded to climb on top of me. She cut my arm and then choked me with a belt.”
“She was then upset that I was bleeding all over her sheets, so she demanded that I get in the bathtub. While I was in there I could hear her ordering food from the DoorDash delivery app,” the victim continued. “She then told me ‘If you scream or say anything, I’ll kill you’ when the delivery person showed up with the food.”
After she fell asleep, the victim told officers he was able to free himself of the duct tape with the kitchen knife she used to attack him and escape to the apartment parking lot where he called for help.
After replaying the 911 call, authorities said, “The dispatcher could hear the victim say he was bleeding all over the bed and telling another person, “You’re going to kill me.”
When officers arrived at the apartment, they discovered blood-soaked rags, a kitchen knife and a bloody bathtub during a search of the apartment.
Dooley was taken into custody by Colorado Springs police.
She is scheduled to appear in court Thursday.
