A man and his girlfriend are both facing charges after investigators said they lured a man to them with the promise of sex and then robbed him at gunpoint. Christopher Allen Morris, 19, of Euharlee and Lauryn Mychelle Fields, 19, of Kennesaw each face multiple charges in the attack, according to a Cobb County arrest warrant.
Fields met the victim on Snapchat, according to the warrant. She allegedly agreed to meet the man for sex on the condition that he give her money, the warrant said.
On May 4, Fields met with the man and got into his car, the warrant said. That’s when Morris and another man approached the vehicle, pulled the victim from it and threatened him with a gun, according to the warrant.
Morris allegedly demanded the victim’s money while pointing the pistol at his chest. He began hitting the victim in the head with the gun, “causing a laceration above the victim’s left eye,” the warrant said.
Morris reportedly told the victim he was Fields’ “man” before taking $180 from his wallet, the warrant said. He also took pictures of the victim’s credit cards, the warrant alleged.
Fields told police she did not know the identity of the other man involved in the attack, but she heard him and her boyfriend talking about beating the victim up, according to the warrant.
She also told law enforcement that on more than one occasion Morris set up meetings with men for her to have sex with. It is not clear if those resulted in robberies.
Fields and Morris were both taken into custody at the Acworth jail on May 5 and are each charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault and battery, according to Cobb jail records. They were booked into the Cobb County Adult Detention Center, where they remain without bond.
