Man Injured, Robbed In Craigslist Encounter For Sex Arrested For Outstanding Oregon Warrant

MANHATTAN BEACH (CBSLA.com) — An injured man who claimed his cell phone and cash were stolen by a bodyguard after an aborted meeting with a woman he met on Craigslist for sex turned out to be wanted for larceny in Oregon, police said Wednesday.

Police were called to the 600 block of 23rd Street about 9:50 p.m. Thursday to investigate a robbery, Manhattan Beach police spokeswoman Stephanie Martin said.

At the scene, officers found 54-year-old Christopher James Carlile of Manhattan Beach, bleeding from a wound to his head. Carlile told police his cell phone and $500 were taken from him by the bodyguard of a woman he contacted on Craigslist for a sexual encounter, Martin said.

Carlile was uncooperative with police and didn't want the reported robbery investigated, according to Martin. Officers then discovered Carlile was wanted in Oregon and had an outstanding no bail warrant for larceny, which included extradition, she said.

Carlile was taken to a hospital to be treated for his injuries, then was arrested on the outstanding warrant, Martin said.

He is jailed on a no-bail hold at the sheriff's Twin Towers facility, according to jail records.
