A US woman was arrested after police say she pulled out a gun and demanded money while having sex with a man in his moving car, causing him to crash into a palm tree.
Amanda Linscott, 26, has been charged with armed robbery following a weeklong investigation by Florida police into the bizarre accident, which occurred last Monday.
Linscott allegedly began touching the man and having sex with him while he was driving before pointing a handgun at his head and demanding money.
The driver lost control of the Nissan Sentra and struck a palm tree, becoming airborne before crashing through two front yards in Port Charlotte.
The 26-year-old, who sustained a bruise to the eye in the scuffle, fled on foot while the victim drove his wrecked car to a friend's house and called the police.
Linscott is believed to have met her victim at an Irish pub earlier that night while accompanied by a friend.
Her friend had earlier demanded money from the victim after the pair had sex at his house, after which he paid her $120.
Later that night, Linscott met the man at a local convenience store and he offered her a ride.
She is being held in Charlotte County Jail without bond.
