A SUSPECT is behind bars after a woman claimed he locked her in his car and tried to rape her at gunpoint during a Tinder date.
The alleged attack happened in the parking garage of a casino after the pair met on the dating app, police records show.
Lavontae Stuckey, 18, was arrested on a kidnapping charge in connection with the July 9 incident, reported.
The victim told police that she met Stuckey at a Las Vegas intersection and got into his car.
The two decided to go to the garage at the Strat Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas to "chill and smoke," police said in an arrest report reviewed by KLAS.
When they moved into the backseat of the car, she claims Stuckey told her he had a gun.

Stuckey then allegedly demanded sex acts, according to the arrest report.
The woman couldn't escape because of child locks on the car doors, meaning the doors could not be opened from the inside, KLAS reported.
The woman's friend was apparently able to find her and get into the car.
They escaped and took down Stuckey's license plate. Police noted that he allegedly hit two cars while fleeing the garage.
