A woman pre-emptively called the Forest Park police because she believed a man who gave her $2,000 as a gift was going to accuse her of stealing the money.
According to a police report filed on Sun- day, Dec. 12, the woman said she met the man on the chat app Tango and, over a three- month period, the man had sent her $2,000, unsolicited, and that she told him she was not interested in a romantic relationship.
When the man continued to pressure her into a romantic relationship and she continued to refuse, the woman said he then threatened to file a police report and tell law enforcement that the woman “was extorting money from him.”
The woman deleted her Tango account.
This information was obtained from police reports filed by the Forest Park Police Department. Unless otherwise indicated, anybody named in these reports has only been charged with a crime. These cases have not been adjudicated.
