Hooking up using an app on your phone sounds like a good idea. But the “dates” don’t always go as planned. One Tinder user learned this after his meet-up with a woman in Colorado took a dark turn.
Lauren Marie Dooley, 22, has been charged with felony second-degree kidnapping, two counts of second-degree assault, menacing, and false imprisonment. She allegedly pulled out a knife and tried to choke her Tinder date before ordering DoorDash.
Colorado Springs Police Department officers were dispatched to E Cache La Poudre Street outside of Colorado Springs after reports of an “unknown call-for-service,” according to the document.
“Upon our arrival, residents at the apartment advised there was a naked male in the parking lot that needed help,” the affidavit states. “Officers located [the victim] who was naked and appeared to be bleeding from a laceration on his left arm. [He] was also actively backing away from the suspect . . . Dooley . . . who appeared to have blood smeared on her arms and hands. [The victim] exclaimed that Lauren tied him up and cut him.”

The 911 operator could hear a man, later identified as the victim, on the open line saying he was bleeding and telling someone “because you cut me” and “you’re going to kill me,” according to the affidavit.
Dooley and the victim were engaging in a sex act on the couch before she proceeded to duct tape his wrists and ankles together, the victim told officers, according to the document. He “found it odd, but consented to it.”
Dooley then ordered him to go into the bedroom, threatening him with a kitchen knife, the victim reportedly told police. “Fearing Lauren would harm him with the knife, he obeyed and got into her bed. Lauren climbed on top of him and proceeded to use the knife to cut his left shoulder,” the affidavit says.

Dooley went on to choke the man repeatedly and check his neck for a pulse, cops said. “Lauren then used both her hands to apply direct pressure to [the victim’s] throat for approximately 20 seconds, making it difficult to breath. Lauren stopped, but only to procure a belt that she then placed around [the victim’s] neck,” the affidavit says.
“She tightened the belt for another 20 seconds, once more making it difficult to breath. When she took it off, she checked [the victim’s] neck for a pulse.”
She then ordered takeout via DoorDash, threatening to kill him if he tried to scream at the delivery driver. She ate her food and got into bed with him.

“When officers conducted a cursory sweep of [the] unit . . . to see if there was anyone else that needed medical assistance, they observed a kitchen knife near the bed, several blood soaked rags and blood all over the bathtub,” the document adds.
Now I’ve had some bad dates, but …
Ummm, I kinda think we’re only getting part of the story...
Obligatory Laz Alert!
Ok, that’s kind of kinky.
Kinky 😜
The crazies....they’re out there
I wonder what you order after you choke someone?
Pulled pork?
what’s a tinder date?
Romance, 21st Century style
And she looked like such a nice girl …….
High scores on the matrix.
I was going to make a "you're not you when you are hungry" joke but after reading the entire thing I just feel sad and angry.
Please people, please. Stop this jumping into bed with strangers thing. It does not end well. The weird part is that if a co-worker asked to crash at your place you would probably say no. Which is smart. But then you go and do this kind of stuff, which is dumb. Just stop it.
Hope she gets twenty to life and hope he smartens up.
From a dating website.
