Online date results in carjacking

PINELAND, S.C. (AP) - A man looking for love online found himself the victim of a carjacking apparently set up by his Internet date, police said.

The 17-year-old girl and another man, Tyrone Taylor, 22, of Pineland, were arrested last week on charges of armed robbery and conspiracy.

The victim, a 22-year-old Charleston man, also has not been identified. Police said he had arranged a date May 26.

The girl drove his car to a remote Pineland field where they began kissing, Jasper County Sheriff's Det. Ted Morris said. Soon thereafter, an attacker held a gun to the girl's head, ordered the two out of the car, then sped away in the vehicle.

"At that time, I was convinced she'd set the whole thing up," the victim said in a telephone interview with the Carolina Morning News. "It was just too perfect."

The girl originally claimed to be a victim but because of the remote location deputies thought she was involved, Morris said.
