Man Warns Others of Dating App Dangers After Being Held Captive

It was Christmas Eve, and Trent Hill said he was feeling lonely, so he got on the dating app Grindr to look for comfort.

After connecting with a man named Ryan Shadrick, the two agreed to meet up at his house, but once Shadrick showed up, Hill began feeling uneasy because Shadrick looked nothing like his profile pic.

"He had me put my dogs up. I have 5 dogs, and two of them are big, and he was mainly concerned about the big ones."

Hill reluctantly did what he asked and let him inside.

"He comes inside, and we do what the dating app was for, and then he was like, well, I need $200 to get my car out of impound," Hill added.

Feeling intimidated, Hill sent him the money on a cash app, but he says Shadrick continued to intimidate him.

"He had a bag, and I offered to put it up for him, and when I went to grab it, he just went whoosh. 'I asked him, do you have a gun in your bag? He just looked at me and got really quiet and said, what if I did?" Hill added.

Hill told police he was terrified to ask Shadrick to leave, but as time passed, he began to eat his food and go through all his belongings, all the while making threats. 'I was like, why are you going through all my doors, and he says I'm just looking for something to wear, man."

At one point, Hill says he sent a text to his friend begging her to call the police. Trent's surveillance cameras in the window captured the moment when officers from the Coweta Police Department arrived at the house.

"He had grabbed a knife about this big, and he had it like this while he was talking to me, and I go out to the police, and I said he has a knife, he's got a knife, he's got a knife," said Hill.

Police arrested Ryan Shadrick after they said he resisted arrest and assaulted one of their officers. Hill says he has learned a hard lesson about the dangers of dating apps.

Isn’t Grindr a homosexual dating app? Homosexuals live dangerous lives everyday.

So he basically used an app on his phone to find a quick & unknown sex partner and ‘learned’ he might be letting an unhinged psycho into his house?

Who would have ever thought?

They are dangerous.

I’ve heard sometimes Paul Pelosi will attack you with a hammer and you will get called a right-wing terrorist and jailed.

What about dating on Grindr might lead one to believe they would run into a psycho?

"He had grabbed a knife about this big, and he had it like this while he was talking to me, and I go out to the police, and I said he has a knife, he's got a knife, he's got a knife,"

So this guy has more smarts than Paul Pelosi. He got away from the creep and went outside the house to the police. But Pelosi stayed with his buddy and got hammered.

Was this in Oklahoma? Because a “Ryan Shadrick” and a woman were arrested for a similar crime in 2019. In that case the woman was “hired” by a man via a (hetero) dating app. She showed up with Ryan Shadrick and they robbed the “customer.”
