A US woman is facing felony charges after she allegedly set her Tider date and his car on fire, media reports said on Sunday.
The alleged attack happened on November 25 between Destiny Lenai Johnson and a man she met in person once after connecting on the Tinder dating app, according to an arrest report obtained by USA TODAY on Wednesday.
The man told police that Johnson messaged him around 5 a.m. asking to meet at her hotel, where she subsequently asked him for money, the American newspaper reported.
He told police that she was angered by his response and poured what smelled like gasoline on the passenger's seat before igniting it with a lighter.
According to court records, Johnson was charged with aggravated battery, attempted murder and arson.
The woman has been booked into a Miami-Dade county jail.
She has been held on a bond of $10,000 for each charge.
Meanwhile, she reportedly told the police at the scene that she was being trafficked and was asked to perform sexual acts for money.
She said she declined to perform the act and set the car on fire.
