Springfield police say romantic meet-ups were set-ups for robberies

Springfield police say a woman set men up to be robbed after connecting with them on online dating websites.

Reanna Ladd, 22, was charged last week with two counts of being an accessory to first-degree robbery after police say she victimized two men on the same night.

According to a probable cause statement, two men reported that they connected with Ladd on online dating websites and agreed to meet her at different locations on Norton Road in the early morning hours of April 30.

When the men showed up, they said Ladd was there and appeared to be alone, according to the statement.

The men said they talked with Ladd for a while, and then other suspects showed up and robbed them at gunpoint.

Springfield police say they stopped Ladd and others in a car later that night but did not locate any of the stolen property.

Ladd allegedly told police the robberies "might have been a set up" but denied having any personal knowledge of what happened.

Prosecutors say Ladd was out on bond at the time of the robberies in a case where she is accused of assaulting a pregnant woman at a dance club.

Ladd is being held in the Greene County Jail on $100,000 bond. She does not have an attorney listed for this case.

The accessory to robbery charges carry possible life sentences.
