Chicago man allegedly ties up, beats woman he met on dating app
A Chicago man was arrested for allegedly holding a woman he met on a dating app against her will and beating her.
A Florida man got more than he bargained for after his dating app match set him up to get carjacked, police said.
The Titusville Police Department said that 24-year-old Brionna Eaddy and an unidentified 35-year-old Orlando man decided to meet in-person Sept. 24 at an apartment complex after communicating over the Tagged dating app.

According to the affidavit, obtained by FOX 35 Orlando, the pair drove to a nearby park in the victim's 2013 Mazda CX9. When the couple arrived, the park was closed, so the pair returned to the apartment complex.
