BOYNTON BEACH — A Boynton Beach man was arrested Monday after a dispute with an escort regarding her services, city police said.
Michael Thomas Schuster, 21, is facing charges of strong arm robbery and battery, police said. He was released from the Palm Beach County jail Tuesday night on $1,500 bond, jail records show.
According to an arrest report, officers responded early Monday morning to a disturbance call at Schuster's apartment in the 900 block of Villa Circle. A woman said that Schuster hired her as a professional escort and paid her $200 to dance for him in the bedroom.
After the dance concluded, the two argued when Schuster said that he was not satisfied with the performance, the report said.
He allegedly grabbed the woman's purse and removed the $200 he paid her. The report states that Schuster then grabbed the woman's hair and left arm, dragged her out of the apartment and pushed her into the hallway.
The woman went downstairs and yelled up to Schuster's apartment. He threw her purse out of a window, minus the $200, the report said.
While speaking with police officers later, Schuster was uncooperative and told several different stories about what happened, the report said.
