Officers tell Local 6 Kristin Johnson, 28, was shopping at a convenience store at Powers Drive and Silver Star Road on April 4 when two men approached her. Johnson told police the two men flirted with her and gave her several compliments, making her feel "pretty."

According to the police report, Johnson, who is "new to the area," decided to meet the men at the Rosemont Community Center.

Police say after watching a game of basketball, Johnson and two men took a walk down a trail. While on the trail, Johnson says one of the men put her in a chokehold. The other suspect grabbed Johnson's car keys and phone, according to police.
