A prostitute stole money from her client, who retaliated by chasing and hitting her, and the confrontation stopped when a homeowner pulled a gun on the man, Will County sheriff’s police said.
Steven Pollard, 55, of Griffith, Ind., picked up Trisha Fallinski, 36, of Cedar Lake, Ind., on May 16 at a forest preserve near Park Forest, and they drove to a nearby road where Fallinski performed oral sex for $20, according to police.
They said Fallinski then stole $600
from Pollard’s wallet and fled, with Pollard chasing her to outside a nearby home in the 24600 block of Kings Road where he began hitting her.
One of the homeowners, a 63-year-old woman, saw Pollard hitting Fallinski and called sheriff’s police — while threatening Pollard with .38-caliber revolver, police said. She then fired the gun into the air to “try to get the attention of her husband ... who was out back mowing the grass,” according to the police report.
Officers arrived and arrested Fallinski and Pollard, recovering the money taken from Pollard, police said. They said Fallinski was charged with theft and prostitution and Pollard with battery and patronizing a prostitute.
