There was a second woman involved that actually got the money (in advance) but this chick had the gun and was relieving the dude of stress, at least until the gun came out.
The only person that I feel sorry for is the "elderly man".
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.
“Chain” of events?
Same here. My stomach dropped when I read about the “elderly man.” Poor guy.
