Charlotte County Sheriff's Office
Amanda Jean Linscott was arrested September 11, 2012 on an armed robbery charge.
A Florida woman who allegedly pulled a gun on a man during sex and demanded money, causing him to lose control of his moving car, was arrested Tuesday, police said.
The woman, Amanda Jean Linscott, 26, fled the scene on foot after the vehicle struck a palm tree, went airborne and plowed through two front yards, according to the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office in Port Charlotte, Fla.
After a weeklong investigation, Linscott was arrested Tuesday on an armed robbery charge.
The incident, which happened during the early morning hours of September 3, was the result of a chain of events that started at the Paddy Wagon Irish Pub in Port Charlotte, according to a police report.

Linscott, accompanied by a friend, met with the unnamed victim and two of his friends at the bar. After it closed, the men invited the women to come to a private residence, where the man and another woman went into a bedroom to have sex, police said.
“The girl said she needed $250, which [the victim] said he didn’t have. She asked how much he had and he gave her $120,” the police report said.
Then, the man went to the bathroom and both women left the house.
Police said the man called the woman to whom he gave the money and arranged to meet her at a local convenience store. When he arrived at the location, he instead found Linscott, who said her friend had left her.
Linscott then got into the man’s car and began having sex with him while he was driving his Nissan Sentra.
Linscott allegedly demanded money from the man, who told her he had already given $120 to her friend. At that point, she pulled out a .357 revolver and held it to the man’s head, police said.

The man grabbed the weapon and punched Linscott in the face, he told police, causing him to lose control of his car. The vehicle struck a palm tree and went through two yards before coming to a stop.
At that point, Linscott fled the scene.
The man drove his car to his friends' house, where he gave them the gun and called police.
When police responded to the scene, they found an elderly man in a driveway who told them his daughter, Amanda Linscott, was in a car accident and had been punched in the face, police said.
Police questioned all parties involved and later arrested Linscott. She is currently being held at the Charlotte County Jail without bond.

How about arresting the idiot who was having sex while driving?
Hahaha, I forgot, even if you pull a gun...it's still the man's fault.
Rent "The World According to Garp" - this was probably safer than being parked in the driveway
Just where did I say she shouldn't be arrested? Of course, she should, but so should he! Oh, I'm sorry, as long as a man is getting some, it doesn't matter how or where and how many other lives could have been lost because of HIS and HER negligence!
There looks to be a couple of failures in the gene pool here.
Not necessarily failures Ron, just residents of the shallow
end of the pool!
and one of them up thread!!!!!
If these two ever get a divorce, does it mean they stop being brother and sister?
what do you tell a woman with a black eye?... Nothing! she's done been told.
Oh Lord, please forgive me for that last comment, and please look after the Pigmy’s
Bill Clinton ? Was he getting his knob polished while driving ?? Oh, but it can't be, blow jobs don't count as "sex" according to Slick Willie.
Boy, if I had a nickle for every time this has happened to me ...
I HATE when THAT happens.
;-)
Emma, how is the man responsible for the criminal conduct of that idiot woman? He wasn't a danger to anyone until that slut pulled a gun on him. He really gave her a well deserved shiner. Ha Ha Ha.
They should execute all of them just for being from Florida.
Admit it - you didn't have to look; you knew this happened in Florida. I love that state, always have a great time when I go there, super friendly people; but it must be something in the water because these situations are more inclined to occur there. I'm actually a little surprised the guy wasn't 16 and this wasn't his home room teacher.
And the award for: "Turd who couldn't think up anything funny so he decided to try and find a way to bring politics to a story that has nothing to do with politics" goes to jim-1455434! What a miserable loser you must be!
You are correct... I view them similar to a handshake.
Normally I hate the women always are the victims bs, but I have to agree with Enma. If he lost control of the car when she pulled a gun on them while they were having sex, this means they were having sex while he was driving. OR am I missing something here? If he was, then he should at least get a ticket for reckless driving. But I would say it is more important to arrest a homicidal person, then someone doing something stupid.
From the looks of the picture, the last thing she said before getting mad was "That's not my mouth!"

You are correct... I view them similar to a handshake.
Oh great! Thanks for ruining my life now I won't be able to greet anyone without getting a woodie. And when I do get a bj, all I will be able to think about is clean fingernails. Thanks a lot!
Apperently they were done with sex while driving. So there was no wreckless driving while the sex was going on. It was only when she demanded money and pulled a gun that the wreck happened. So kudo's to him for his driving skills. He probably kept one hand on the wheel at all times until the gun came into play.
@ Mr Burns.
I think a crazy woman pulling the gun is more the cause of the accident than her going down on him. Sex or not... If someone pulls a gun on you while youre driving and you try to fight them off, you are going to lose control of one of two things, your car or bodily functions, because that ish is intense.
That being said Im all for fining this guy because who gives a chick you just meet in a bar $120 for nothing? Obviously he gave it to her for sex. So he meets 2 prostitutes in a bar, his friend does one of them, he pays one and goes to meet up with her later but her friend shows up instead and demands more money....Id be surprised if the guy wasnt charged with something.
She must think she gives one heck of a hummer to risk her life to try and collect on it
Rose,
You missed the part where I said it is more important to arrest her. But getting road head is illegal. But it seems that it was after the act that she pulled the gun, so ill pull my comment. :)
As long as your comment is the only thing that you pull and then tell us about ...
You will not be getting a tip that way.
.
"You might be a redneck if...."
hahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahah................................................But seriously, is it me or is she a little off in the head from her picture.
Who pulled a gun on who first??? ;-}
Floridiots are alive and well. Man, what is in the water down there?
After seeing her picture, I can only come to the conclusion, he was desperate.
Okay Florida.. what's going on in your state... not that long ago a man ate another mans face, then a man ate a dog, and you all cant VOTE worth a hoot
It's all of the sunshine. These people move here from their frozen caves (or trailers) in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York. After a few dunks in saltwater and several weeks in the sunshine, they turn into Republicans and go stark-raving mad.
Wait till November to really appreciate us Floridians. The ballot for Florida is 10 pages long. Yes. Really. Now imagine how long the polls will be open. It will take ~13 seconds to feed 10 pages into the scanners. Not counting the time to fill it out or to invalidate your ballot for a new one when you make a mistake on page 10. If you thought "hanging chad" (sound like a bad movie doesn't it?) was an event to remember, standby!!!!! :>)
Having seen her picture, all I can say is "What a beast!".
Rather than pull a gun she should have just threatened to tell other people he'd been having sex with her. Odds are he'd had driven her to an ATM and forked over any sum for which she asked.
Stupid criminal.

And to think you must now have photo ID to subject yourself to such punishment. I think Governor Scott shot much of his base in foot.
First, ya gotta get yer piture taken (that means scroungin' fer yer cleanest dirty shirt so Mama don't throw a hissy fit).
Then ya gotta read this durn thang that's ten times the size of a Checker's menu. How ya s'posed to pick what you want without pitures? Then they won't let ya have the fun of crammin' all this into that infernal machine all at once. Nooo, ya gotta stand there like a fool and gently feed it one piece at a time(reminds me of my first time with that preacher's girl).
Reckon I'll just tell Mama I'm goin' hog huntin' first thing that mornin' and promise to get back in time to vote. We'll stay out all day drinkin' and shootin' stuff. When we get home late that night, you tell her how I done got snake-bit. She knows how slow you are suckin' out all that pison and the smell of the liquor was just to dull the pain.
Take that Governor Scott! I always knew ya weren't never one of us.
This should be a warning to all you guys - leave the white trash at the curve to be picked up by the garbage man. And try to meet girls in church instead. The least that can happen is she bores you to death about saving your soul.
Tweaker Alert!
Still ... can't he say she pulled his gun first?
All these comments are racist.
@rocco1-604435; in my state they don`t pick up trash on the curve, we usually put it on the curb and it gets picked up. I going to try to leave it at the curve(large one close to the house)just to see if it gets picked up faster!!!!!!!!! thanks for both tips jacka$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Typical feminist, the WOman was committing a robbery.
Though The guy was taking advantage of a helpless democrat......
Feel better now?
Umm...she had the gun. Sounds neocon to me...
slobbery and robbery
I'm surprised the police didn't just arrest the guy and charge him with rape.
Skill levels are not always apparent by looks!!!!
I can't wait until she gets the offers rolling in to do pr0n.
Actually she looks like an average woman.
They probably would have except for his wise decision to turn HER gun over to friends and call police immediately. After hearing all the versions they made the correct call, and she got a well deserved shiner to go...
It's not illegal to rape someones eye in Florida.
Skeptical-3501406
I can't wait until she gets the offers rolling in to do pr0n.
You would watch that ugly chick???????
Was this woman giving this man some road "you know what".
Probably. Every dude enjoys road fondue.
(Really... "road 'you know what?'" How old are you, 9? Please say no, else I'm likely violating my parole just by typing to you.)
When getting head at 30 per,
Beware of a large caliber
Boy, you could not even make this stuff up.
My uncle was an adjuster for a number of insurance companies in the 70's and 80's and this sounds like a natural evolution of the wild claims stories he always used to share with us. I mean, seriously, this is about as wild as a lot of that stuff was PLUS thirty plus years of escalation to top it off.
If someone was looking to write a screenplay for another Pulp Fiction type of flick, this would definitely be a scene to consider including. I wonder if Quentin Tarantio ever reads any of these comments...
"...they found an elderly man in a driveway who told them his daughter, Amanda Linscott, was in a car accident and had been punched in the face..."
Well pops, you may want to sit down before we tell you what dear little Amanda Jean has been doing for lunch money ...
... but Bill Clinton refused ... to give the cash ....
That is because Bill did not have sex. No sex no money. I still want to know what he told Hillery.
totherepublic
What did Bill say to Hillary - "Get away from me with that knife!!!!!" Ahh! Ahh! Secret Service where the HELL are you? Save me from this crazy bitch!
Still think George Bush choked on a pretzel? He got clocked by his wife! Still think Tiger's wife was trying to "rescue" him with that golf club?
You forget that Hillary was Clinton's bag woman? Bill and Jack are the two greatest presidential philanders during last century and this century. Jacqueline was told to expect this type of behavior by her mother-in-law and Hillary tied her tails to Bills. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE POPULAR VOTE and electoral vote, had Perot not been the spoiler Sick Willie would have lost both elections assuming he was nominated for the 1996 election. Just review the statistics and you would have seen that Sick Wille got 14 million votes less than Bush/Perot and in the 1996 election had Perot's vote gone to Dole, then Sick Willie would have lost in the electoral college.
It depends on what the meaning of"is" is!!!!
and we wonder why this country is having problems?
Man, my life is looking pretty boring compared to this.
Be grateful or you could be dead or behind bars LOL
One could infer from the story that you could begin to make your life more exciting by inviting unfamiliar women to come home with you, make them wait in another part of the house while you engage yet another woman (presumably already in your house) in intercourse, give one or both 'guests' some money for ??? (the article never actually says it was prostitution, so who knows?) as soon as you emerge from the bedroom, then disappear into the bathroom.
At the very least, you can ensure that you won't be in the running for 'host of the year' or some such award...
You have the story about right. Hookers/sluts at work then getting greedy...
Probably needed more money for crack. That's the way they roll in the Sunshine State. ;o)
So basically he had sex for 60 dollars a piece, wrecked his car, gained a gun, and had one helluva story to tell on where he had been all day. It's about time they arrested the female.
Women are getting harder, no pun intended, to please. One mistake and you get a Lorena Bobbitt.
Funny you should mention Lorena Bobbit, I just heard where they both ended up with good jobs out of that incident, she went to work for Case knives and he went to work for Snap-On Tools.
CT- 525835
Funny! Very Funny!
I thought she went to work for Ginsu Knives!
Thanks for the laugh!
LMFAO
Why don't they post the mans name? He is also guilty of paying for sex and should be identitfied as well. Another loser guy who cannot be with a woman without paying for it.
Thank you. Somebody finally got the "money for sex" part.
There is no victim here (except maybe the palm tree).
Chris
You are mistaken, he paid for sex to one women but instead was robbed.... then he was extortion for money during sex and didn't pay any. Where's the crime?
Since I wasn't in the Sentra, I would have to put this down as a probable conspiracy for solicitation of prostitution. He obviously wasn't out collecting for the Red Cross.
You seem to act like not having sex is something that makes a man a loser.
Yeah, tell that to the guy who had a gun put to his head and told to give up all the money he had.
RIposter -
If paying for sex is a crime, then there wouldn't be enough room in the paper or on the internet to list all the names. Every man pays for sex - new car, new house, jewelry, vacations, clothing, you name it. You make the woman happy you get sex or at least a bj.
Everytime I go to Florida that happens to me.
Isnt it obvious what was going on? The 2 chicks were trying to get the guys to get some coke/crack to have a sex party. The guy could only afford half what they both wanted so 1 chick took off w/ the $ or drugs... the 2nd chick tried to go back and "milk" (hee hee) out some more cash and pulled a gun when there wasnt any... 1 coke slut high and outta there, 1 coke slut busted, 2 guys out $ w/ 1 of them having a wrecked vehicle... Seems coke slut #1 who ripped everyone off got the best of the evening
AtomAnt,
Paying for sex is a crime in FL, and most states.
Tim W.-
What if you arent paying for sex, but paying them to go away after the sex?
Florida!!! again
Remember: You can't spell "Florida" without "duh" - Dave Barry
LMFAO ! And I live here in FLORIDUH. The only reason I hang around here is to see what's gonna happen next. In, wait for it, 3, 2, 1...
LOL out of all these posts, mine was deleted? You people are jokes.
So this guy walks into a bar....
And walks out with a ho and a gun to his head.....
Dear Penthouse,
You are not going to believe what happened to me the other day. I walk in a bar with two of my friends......
She's got a black eye - did she get "poked" in it?
Betcha didn't see that one comin' huh?
LMAO! No, I didn't see that coming, and neither did she...
On the bright side at least she took off and didn't bother with the pillow talk.
You just can't make this stuff up!
Skank.
I've always heard that people with high foreheads possess above-average intelligence. Perhaps not in this case.
She may want to consider bangs!!!!!
I thought she had .... oh, you mean that kind of bangs.
Post of the year candidate here by Lawful1
I second that - wait a minute "seconds"? maybe not.
A Nissan Sentra?!! Not a whole lot of room there to manuever! While she was thinking with one gun; he was thinking with another!!!!!
Fast and Furious meets Debbie does Dallas?
How do we know this isn't really Kristen Stewart?
Too pretty and too expressive.
LOL! I thought of her as well as soon as I saw her mugshot.
I thought of 'Sloth' from the Goonies movie.
meth will do it every time
This whole investigation seems to be a little hard to swallow.
I've heard that line before.
Good God! America's average male IQ is much lower than I thought.
First, who is to say he did not force her and she was attempting to defend herself? Or whether the gun was not his to begin with? They are going strctly by what he has said happened.
Why not wait until you have some actual facts before acting like a bunch of low-class perverts? This is the problem with America today. Absolutely no class, and way too much sleaze.
This actually sounds as though he could have had the gun on her and forced her to give him oral sex. The guy is a real scumbag to begin with taking advantage of anyone. If you condone that sort of behavior, it may be because your own mother was promiscuous, and how about your sisters and daughters? Real nice group of "men" here!
Where have you been the last 20 years?
Judging by the rest of your post, that may be the problem, but I'll go ahead and humor you.
He called the police and gave them the gun, along with the story. What kind of rapist goes to the police? Remember a little thing called Occam's razor?
I'll give you this point, but the rest of it was unnecessary and is vibrant display of your intelligence (or lack there-of)
Refer to my first refutation for the part about it being his gun. And really? You're going to insult everyone's mothers/sisters/daughters and then have the nerve to accuse them of having no class?
You may have been able to provide some good points, but your delivery of the information and hypocrisy will just cause most to simply throw out whatever good ideas/thoughts are contained in the drivel.
Karen: from the article -
She's a week to spin it any way she wants, or to mention coercion on his part. I'm sure your delusional mind wracked w/ prejudice will find all sorts of way to believe you weren't wrong to make your post. But you were. You were wrong and you're an embarrassment to the human race.
Karen, are you forgetting that the police investigated and charged her? They did not jump to conclusions, as you did. If the guy had the gun, can you explain her black eye and his wrecked car? Your foolish attempt to defend the skank in this story is laughable. She is lucky she only has a black eye and an embarrassing mug shot. Pulling a gun on the wrong person can get you killed...
Who said it was his gun. No one else is reading that. Don't tell us your jealous cause nobody would have sex with you even in a car @ 2am .
From reading the information in the article, it appears that you are biased against men. Why? Because the police investigated for a week, and they came to the conclusion that she was guilty and deserved to be charged, which is what happened. The only person who jumped to conclusions is you. And you jumped to the conclusion that he most likely raped her at gunpoint, with no information at all. I understand you are biased against men, but this is a pretty clear cut case.
Woman does something crazy, Karen thinks its a man's fault. Way to show why people have stopped listening to feminazis.
UM he called her friend who he had already had sexwith for money and she showed up instead. He paid a high price for sex with a whore, who should know better than to ask for money afterwards.
No doubt about it. Someone pulls a gun on me, in my ride, and no one else in it but me and the one holding the gun.....
I'm going to do everything I can to put the right front of the car into a tree, to try to launch them through the windshield. That is, if I can't powerslide it and put the passenger door into a tree.
You threaten to kill me, and fail, you're toast!
Wow, how can someone like Karen make a statement about male IQ? It would seem that she has lost contact with her prefrontal cortex and is reacting like an animal with everything in her little head based on emotion and hormonal reaction. That other part of the brain is nice to use once in a while especially since the comments are based on the article reporting the event not the actual event itself, so the "truth" is presented here. Speculation about how the male just has to be the offender only serves to inhibit women's progress, because for every intelligent, reasonable, capable female out there doing good things there are small minded females like Karen who just haven't figured out how to use that 2 and half pound mass of gelatin between their ears.
What a sweet little crack head! I'm sure it is just a misunderstanding. Her Daddy said she didn't do it.
She definitely has that crack look to her.
She's an exotic dancer "working" her way through college.
Exotic is an overstatement!
