Man Warns Others of Dating App Dangers After Being Held Captive
KJRH ^ | Dec 28, 2022 | Sharon Phillips

It was Christmas Eve, and Trent Hill said he was feeling lonely, so he got on the dating app Grindr to look for comfort.

After connecting with a man named Ryan Shadrick, the two agreed to meet up at his house, but once Shadrick showed up, Hill began feeling uneasy because Shadrick looked nothing like his profile pic.

"He had me put my dogs up. I have 5 dogs, and two of them are big, and he was mainly concerned about the big ones."

Hill reluctantly did what he asked and let him inside.

"He comes inside, and we do what the dating app was for, and then he was like, well, I need $200 to get my car out of impound," Hill added.

Feeling intimidated, Hill sent him the money on a cash app, but he says Shadrick continued to intimidate him.

"He had a bag, and I offered to put it up for him, and when I went to grab it, he just went whoosh. 'I asked him, do you have a gun in your bag? He just looked at me and got really quiet and said, what if I did?" Hill added.

Hill told police he was terrified to ask Shadrick to leave, but as time passed, he began to eat his food and go through all his belongings, all the while making threats. 'I was like, why are you going through all my doors, and he says I'm just looking for something to wear, man."

At one point, Hill says he sent a text to his friend begging her to call the police. Trent's surveillance cameras in the window captured the moment when officers from the Coweta Police Department arrived at the house.

"He had grabbed a knife about this big, and he had it like this while he was talking to me, and I go out to the police, and I said he has a knife, he's got a knife, he's got a knife," said Hill.

Police arrested Ryan Shadrick after they said he resisted arrest and assaulted one of their officers. Hill says he has learned a hard lesson about the dangers of dating apps.

It would seem Trent is well on his path to being a degenerate idiot.

When I need comfort having a stranger insert something in my anus is not something I ever considered.

This is what happens when you have an untreated mental disorder that controls how you live your life.

With a name like “grinder”, you know it’s not a “dating” app - it’s a screwing app.

His own words: “we do what the dating app was for...”

Disgusting.

Anyway, guess he’s lucky.

So he basically used an app on his phone to find a quick & unknown sex partner and ‘learned’ he might be letting an unhinged psycho into his house? Who would have ever thought?

Well, at least he didn't get 'hammered'... like some.

He should have called Paul Pelosi to ask about his experience on grindr.

This one started the way the guy expected - another guy to screw.

I watch murder-type shows (real thing), and one of the stories is about a man who answered a “girl” for dating, and was to meet her at “her” house.

Turned out it was a guy who had murderous intention. Wanted to torture and kill someone. Started by catching him in the garage.

Why anyone would even suggest meeting at their own place is beyond me. I always wanted to protect my family and myself in case things went wrong (and that doesn’t have to be assault), so they wouldn’t know where we live until things seem all kosher.

A pervert is surprised that perverts are perverted.

I thought Grindr was explicitly for those sorts of bondage occasions.

If you go to the article, this happened in Coweto, Oklahoma, so just as you surmised.

He was lucky it was a knife, and not a hammer.

. . . . . . . . .
And if he had just stayed home, repented and read the Bible, there would be no story.

“feeling lonely,”

Is that what it is called now?

Whatever is the world coming to when you can’t place your trust in a complete stranger you meet for the first time in order to get over being lonely.
