A woman has a pending court case after allegedly stealing about $40K from a man. Hours before the theft, she had drinks with him at a Las Vegas Strip gaming property.<\/p>\n

The suspect, Monica Falcon, met the man at the unnamed Las Vegas casino on June 12, police said. They then went back to the man\u2019s residence.<\/p>\n

When the man woke up the following day, Falcon had left the apartment.<\/p>\n

Some $600 in cash was stolen and his bank balance was at negative $6,500 even though it had been $17K before the two met. The man\u2019s cryptocurrency account had also been accessed and showed a $17,500 withdrawal while an additional $4,912 was taken from a Venmo account.<\/p>\n

Man Has Fuzzy Memory<\/h2>\n

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department<\/a> (LVMPD) officers were contacted by the victim, who had a fuzzy recollection of the night\u2019s events. He did, however, tell officers that he would recognize Falcon if he saw her.<\/p>\n

After speaking with the victim, police reviewed surveillance footage<\/a> taken at the casino and identified Falcon as the suspect. She refused a request to speak with officers at police headquarters and was later arrested on a warrant in August.<\/p>\n

\n

Falcon was charged with theft with a value of $25K or greater but less than $100K, according to Las Vegas TV station KLAS<\/em>. If convicted on the charge, she could face a prison sentence, fines, and be ordered to make restitution to the man.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s unclear if any of the missing cash was recovered by LVMPD officers.<\/p>\n

Falcon is scheduled to appear in local court on December 4.<\/p>\n

Soliciting, Prostitution Accusations<\/h2>\n

It’s unclear as to whether the victim and Falcon had sex<\/a> while the two were in his apartment, nor did the LVMPD say if the night\u2019s events included a \u201ctrick roll,<\/a>\u201d which is a term commonly used to describe when a sex worker steals items of value or cash from a client.<\/p>\n

\n

Trick rolls are frequently reported to LVMPD officers and often take place at hotels after a suspected prostitute meets a possible client on a casino floor or at a bar. Often, the sex worker drinks with the customer before they head up to the client\u2019s hotel room or residence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A check of courtroom documents revealed that Falcon has previously been charged with soliciting, engaging in prostitution<\/a>, and trespassing. It\u2019s not known if the prior charges are still pending.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
