A man who held a woman at gunpoint to call police about an alleged car crash Saturday night was charged with armed robbery after officers arrived, New Orleans police said.

Philip Spencer, 39, told police that a woman in her late 20s hit his vehicle, so he followed her to the 2300 block of South Roman Street, according to the initial NOPD report. There, Spencer “barricaded” the woman in, got a gun from his trunk, and took her cell phone to call police, the report states.

Spencer was charged with armed robbery afterward, according to the report. He was listed in the Orleans Parish jail roster Monday morning, but not in the sheriff’s office online records.
