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.

Hey with that face, even forgetting the black eye, she would have to pay the man! But, UGLY! Gotta wonder what the john looked like that he turned on - Please, let me never get that bad off!
As a former cross country trucker I can honestly tell you folks, bj's while driving happens more often than you think. As far as the criminal aspect of it all, I think he should be arrested... for actually letting this woman near his johnson.
Yea, it's pretty common, especially in South Florida, and no one makes it a point to hide it, either, even if it's in broad daylight.
lol, this story made my day. I just got off work :)
How would this guy know what she is saying, 'OK thith ith a shtick up, I nee to hunred fffiffty dowars"
Why wasn't this caught on video ? The only sound track needed would have been Dixie played on the Dukes of Hazzard car horn. Florida needs to change it's motto from the '' Sunshine state " to the " sane shied "state. Bath Salts cannibals, Forrest Gump neighborhood watches, and now armed, airborne, unhappy hookers !
120.00 sure doesn't buy much anymore.
Inflation (for both of them - Pun intended)!!!
26? she looks 36! its a wonder what cigs, alcohol, crack, meth, and prostitution will do to ya!
Karen C artical said they interviewed both parties, she pulled the gun. I guess your jealous cause no 1 would have sex with you, even in a car @ 2 am
This is why sex over 60 is a bad idea.
golliegeewillikers
Do you mean I have only 4 years left to have sex? Damn, I knew I should have started earlier!
Over 60 years old or over 60 miles an hour?!!! If it's over 60 years old, no worries; VIAGRA
60 mph is no issue either. Trust me on this... ;)
So you're saying it was basically just your typical redneck date.
Nope. Even most rednecks have better since than that.
Let's hope neither of these two can reproduce; especially with each other!!!!!!
I guess driving, sex and guns just don't mix. No wonder humanity is going to h#ll in a handbasket. Can people get an stupider!
They can do a movie on this and call it $hitty, $hitty, Bang Bang!!!
yes, people can - they can misspell the word "any", as you did.
Mistakes are a sign of being human, not being stupid. How many mistakes have you made lately? Please don't tell me you are perfect and never make mistakes.
I don't know... I've been completely successful in driving and sex... I haven't tried the gun yet...
Nobody. Where have you been? You gotta have the gun. Driving and sex is nothing without the gun.
@lacywild -- LOL!!!! Point taken. :)
The point is, if a person can't be bothered to take the time to check, just a quick glance to pick up mistakes like an for any, then the person doesn't have the credibility to discuss the article in any substantive manner. Not to say that a substantive comment is required but if you can't get a three letter word right in a twelve word post, (I didn't count), you deserve the jabs at your intelligence and making mistakes has nothing to do with the fact that you're too stupid to reread what you've written to avoid comments like these in the first place. Your spelling is tied to your credibility, you have none.
Damn, my life is boring.
When she gets out jail she will remember that she used to like to ...., but she won't remember why!
The first rule of hoing---get the money up front!!!!
So let me get this straight- some girls went to a guys house after a bar closed where one of the girls did the humpty dance with one of the guys, the girls left, the guy called to meet at a convenience store where the girl's friend was waiting but not the girl oh no I've gone crosseyed.

Actually she looks like an average woman.
Average? Based on what, your current location?!? Average can mean many things. She is certainly below average where I live.
This is proof that our economy is in the dumps; this poor woman had to resort to prostitution/burglary to pay her rent. Bet she has a business card that says "A Stick-up For You and A Stick-up For Me!
He should have been the one asking for money from her for him to have sex with her. She is butt ugly.
i can't wait to see old grampa's face when he reads this story!
First of all -- LOL!!! AWESOME STORY! You just can't make this stuff up! :)
Second -- I'm confused about the police arriving to the scene and finding the girl's father in the driveway. Where did he come from? The "john" called the cops -- was he at the girl's house?! Something is missing in this story...
Nissan Sentra -- sweet car... :)
The girl is cute -- too bad she feels she must "work" for a living... (I've got $120 right here in my pocket...) :D
...and how did the "john" know to call the convenience store to contact the girl? I'm thinking these two people knew eachother -- this is not just a random hooker / john thing...
Honey, I'm not even cute and I look better than her. Save your money, it ain't worth no $120. I'm sure it comes free, somewhere.
I'm with you. Fishy sounding story.
Have you ever heard of a cellular phone? I may be mistaken, but as I read the article he met her at a convenience store, he didn't call the store in order to contact her.
I blame Obama.
LMAO! Good one, skinger! Cracked me up...
I asked her how much she wanted and she said I need about tree fiddy.
It was the Loch Ness Monster!!! :P
The guy should have stuck to the 5-knuckle shuffle; it's safer!!!!
Ahh, gotta love Redneck Courtship!
This is just a first date for these dimwits....
And you know sooo much about rednecks. You don't know jack****, Joe
Hmmm, alittle hostile and defensive, are we, Lacy?? Must've hit close to home. Maybe this story describes your prom date??? LMAO!!! Hope you got a wrist corsage along with the other "perks!"
Joe-5858446 likes to throw around racial terms like 'redneck.'
However if someone were to say "blue gum" or "slant eye" or "hook nose" around him he would spit all over his monitor screaming racist at them.
Keep on keeping on, Joe. You're actually paving the way for real racism. After all, if someone is screaming redneck at you then you're hardly out of line if you yell the same thing back at them...only tweaked a little to fit their ethnicity.
So glad I am married to a wonderful woman and don't have to deal with this sort of thing.
