A Tinder date in Lady Lake took a turn for the worse, ending in a car chase, a collision, and a gun threat, according to an arrest report from the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office.

David O’Brien, a 67-year-old resident of The Villages, met a woman on the dating app and allegedly offered her $1,000 to be his “sugar baby.” The two agreed to meet for dinner, and O’Brien took the woman shopping for lingerie, giving her $200, and later gave her an additional $600 when they arrived at his home.

However, the woman began to feel uncomfortable and contacted her friends to come pick her up. O’Brien allegedly told her she should give the money back because that was not the agreement. The woman left the house and got into a car with her friends, but O’Brien chased them in his Ford F-150.

At a roundabout near El Camino Real and Buena Vista Boulevard, O’Brien allegedly rammed the back of the victim’s car, causing it to hit a pole. He circled back and struck the car again, disabling it. Three of the people inside the car fled, while the fourth person was confronted by O’Brien, who allegedly pointed a semi-automatic rifle at him and ordered him to get on the ground, threatening to kill him.

Multiple 911 calls were made, and the man on the ground was able to escape before law enforcement arrived. O’Brien was arrested and faces charges including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.
