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.

I guess that is one job where there is always an opening
Do they have a distracted driving law in Florida? Sounds like this guy's attention was NOT on the road. Seriously, if you can't afford a hotel room at least pull over and stop driving.
Damn, it certainly kills the mood when your hooker wants to re-negotiate at gunpoint while still bobbing on the cob, lol
Wonder what her daddy has to say after he found out what the real truth was.
Since I have a daughter (a lot younger) I assume he was heartbroken.
Well when they are dragging their knuckles on the ground it's kind of hard to win that argument...
It would appear this is the second run in with the law she has had in the past few months:

Amanda Linscott
ROCHESTER — Police made two arrests Thursday night after undergoing probation and parole compliance checks with New Hampshire State Probation and Parole Department.
Todd Ferris, 38, whose current address is unknown, was given a fugitive from justice charge, and his girlfriend, Amanda Linscott, 26, was charged with hindering apprehension just before 11 p.m. Thursday, after a search warrant was executed at 100 Rochester Hill Rd., Apt. 1B.
The name and age could be a coincidence, considering your story took place in New Hampshire and this one took place in Florida.
I just saw this too. The picture looks the same, minus the shiner. She looked better a few months ago.
Google it.
Booking info from Florida indicates she is from NH, Drivers lic number is also not a florida DL
My dream, of course not the gun not with Amanda. I wonder how they were doing the nasty ... this poor reporting.
She is from Rochester ... so close.
Skanky looking broad!
By the looks of this supermodel she should have been paying HIM for the service.....
Is this a great country or what?
Looking at her about 20.00 would have been a little high for around the world about 5.00 tops
the bandit clearly did not think this one all the way through.
she look like she would have to threaten any man to have sex with her.
God LOVE Florida!
