Police: Woman lured to Indy, attacked

PRINCETON, Ind. (AP) - Court documents say a southwestern Indiana woman used Facebook to lure a police informant to Indianapolis, where four men beat him and threatened to drown him or set him on fire.

Twenty-year-old Brittni Browning of Francisco and 24-year-old Derek Agnew and 19-year-old Cory Jefferson, both of Princeton, were being held Tuesday at the Gibson County Jail on preliminary felony charges of battery and criminal confinement. Marion County prosecutors say two other suspects haven't been charged.

The Princeton Daily Clarion reports the victim informed on Agnew, leading to his arrest on drug charges.

The affidavit claims Browning contacted the informant on Facebook and invited him to Indianapolis, where the four men then placed him in a car's trunk while they discussed how to kill him. The informant escaped, however.
