A Harahan couple was booked with armed robbery and other counts this weekend after they allegedly lured another man to the woman's house, where she answered the door topless and attempted to kiss him while her accomplice got into position to rob him at knife-point.

Anthony Kennedy and Rayna Fillios were both booked on battery and robbery counts. Police say Fillios called a man who had been her Uber driver and invited him over to her house.

When the man arrived Saturday night, Fillios answered the door with no shirt on and the two had a "brief conversation" in which "Fillios appeared to be teasing" him, according to Tim Walker, chief of the Harahan Police Department.

When the man tried to leave, Fillios pulled him into her bare chest, kissed him and bit his tongue, he told police. When she released him, however, Kennedy brandished a knife and demanded he turn over all his cash.

When the man refused, Kennedy hit him in the chin, knocking out a tooth, Walker said. Kennedy then fled and Fillios remained on the scene.

Kennedy was later found hiding in a nearby shed by a Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office canine unit. He refused to come out and the dog was used to subdue him. Kennedy was taken to the hospital for treatment, Walker said.

Fillios was booked on counts of principal to armed robbery and second degree battery. Kennedy was booked on counts of attempted armed robbery, second degree battery, violating a protective order Fillios had against him and resisting an officer.
