Police: Jilted Girlfriend Sets Up Ambush, Robbery Of Ex
MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- A jilted girlfriend who set up her ex-boyfriend to be ambushed appeared before a judge on Wednesday, police said.
Sara Matherly made her first court appearance in the morning.
"You're client is charged with armed robbery with a fire arm, count one, extortion, threats count two," read Judge John Hurley.
The question now, is it payback from an ex-girlfriend who's boyfriend cheated on her?
Matherly is accused of setting up her ex-boyfriend to get robbed by luring him back to her with promises of a day of sex. Before that the victim said she asked him to stop at a home in west Hollywood, a place known as a "smokehouse." She said she had to pick up clothes.
"I gotta tell you," said Judge Hurley, "I may be a little bite square, but could you tell me what a smoke house is?" "Street terminology to where individuals go to do narcotics," answered a defense attorney.
Once in the front door, the ex-boyfriend said he was ambushed. The victim told investigators that while he was inside one of the rooms, someone put him in a choke hold. Shortly after that, another man came up and put a gun to his head and he was robbed.
In the police report, the victim said one of the robbers said, "You know what this is! Give me everything." He continued that Matherly told the crooks, "Don't forget his f'in chain."
It was a few days later that investigators said Matherly indicated this happened because the ex-boyfriend was unfaithful.
"She allegedly said during a conversation, "that's what you get for cheating on me!'" Judge Hurley read from the police report.
But it doesn't end there.
Matherly is accused of taking it a step further, demanding the ex-beau to pay her three hundred dollars or else.
"The defendant threatened him by stating that she would have two unidentified subjects who robbed him go to his mother's house unless he delivers the money," the judge read.
Those other two men are at large. Matherly is in jail. The judge set her bond at $7,500.
