El Paso County officials say a man who met a woman online and then invited her over got more than he bargained for Sunday.

The victim explained to deputies that he had invited a woman who he had met in a chat room to his house, according to a release from the El Paso County Sheriff's Office.

The woman, who officials identified as 30-year-old Leann Arroyo, showed up with two men and all three were invited into the victim's house on Watson Boulevard in Security.

One of the men then waved a gun in front of the victim and demanded money.

The victim handed over $20 and then fled to his room until the intruders left.

The Colorado Springs Police Department later found Arroyo in the 1500 block of Fountain Street. She is being held on charges of aggravated robbery and conspiracy with a $25,000 bond.

Officials are still looking for the two other suspects, who have not been publicly identified.
