Prostitute And Accomplice Rob, Beat Man: Takoma Park Police​

TAKOMA PARK, MD — A Clinton man has been arrested on an outstanding warrant from charges stemming from an armed robbery, first-degree burglary, first-degree assault and theft in Takoma Park.

Kristofer Harris, 26, was arrested Thursday by the Takoma Park Police Department’s Special Investigations Section. He is being held at the Prince George's County Department of Corrections.

On Feb. 13, police responded to the 1200 block of Myrtle Ave. for the report of a home invasion robbery. Investigation revealed the victim made contact with a female suspect through an internet prostitution page, and when she got to his house, he had changed his mind, police said. The female left the home and came back with Harris, who was armed with a gun in order to "compensate themselves for the prostitute’s time," police said.

The home owner heard someone banging on his front door and when he opened it, Harris was at the door holding a gun, police said. Harris told the victim to hand over his money. When the victim didn't comply, a physical fight ensued.
