Man arrested in Houston is alleged to have used fake ID to demand $400 from woman who had given him massage

A church employee is under arrest in Houston, Texas, after being accused of posing as an ICE agent to extort money from a woman he had booked to give him a massage.

Donald Doolittle, 58, a safety director at the Gateway Community church in Webster, south-east of Houston, has been charged with impersonating a public servant.

According to police, Doolittle booked and received a massage from a woman operating out of a north-west Houston office building. He wanted to pay with a credit card; the woman said she only accepted cash or payment via Zelle, a digital network.

    Is it $400 or $500? Article says both. And what about a charge for theft, why is that not there?

    If he had reported her visa to ICE, this probably wouldn’t have become a crime and he’d be part of the team. But he went rogue.
