A lady of the street reported to city police that she was flimflammed by a "customer."
She said she was picked up by a black male in a green vehicle on Fourth Avenue. He took her to 18th Avenue, where she performed several sex acts. She said there had not yet been an agreement on the charge for her services.
She said she was standing outside his car readjusting her clothing when he suddenly took off with the door still open. She said she tried to hold onto the door handle, but lost her grip.
She said he got away with her change purse that contained her birth certificate, Tennessee ID and a $50 money order.
An officer drove her to the Kanku's on Dodds Avenue, where she canceled the money order.
Police said she had an abrasion on her right knee, but she declined medical attention.
