NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man was defrauded of thousands of dollars after he was robbed at gunpoint by drivers who allegedly impersonated a rideshare service.

According to court documents, on March 30, 2025, the man left a bar on Broadway and got into a vehicle that he believed to be a rideshare vehicle or taxi. Inside the vehicle were 31-year-old Dakota Blunt and another woman.

The man told authorities that after the car left the Broadway area, one suspect pulled out a gun and demanded his wallet and phone.

The suspects then left the victim and fled with his belongings.

During the investigation, it was discovered that a new credit card was opened in the victim's name without his knowledge and approximately $18,000 was fraudulently charged to his bank accounts.

Surveillance footage from the locations where the fraudulent charges were made were used to identify Blunt and the other individual. No information was released about the status of the second person accused in the case.

Blunt was charged with felony identity theft, felony property theft, felony aggravated robbery and felony aggravated kidnapping. Her bond is set at $235,000.
