BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — A 24-year-old woman is facing an armed robbery charge after she allegedly tased and robbed a man she met on a dating app at a Boston hotel.
Boston Police responded to a call about an armed robbery the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Avenue De Lafayette shortly before noon on Tuesday.
The victim told officers he had connected with the woman on a dating app, and they had met in person in the hotel lobby before going up to her hotel room.
