Retired Air Force Major Attacked 2 Florida Real Estate Agents, Police Say
A retired Air Force major is in custody after allegedly attacking two real estate agents in St. Petersburg, Florida, police said.

Paul Jay Pinkston, 58, allegedly used the alias "Robert Evans" to arrange a real estate appointment, during which he tied up a female real estate agent at gunpoint, called her husband and demanded $50,000 ransom, authorities said.

Pinkston appeared for a court hearing today, during which bail has been set at $300,000, his lawyer told ABC News.

The real estate agent's husband refused to pay the ransom, Pinkston left and the woman eventually escaped, authorities added.

But an hour later, Pinkston then robbed a second real estate agent, identified as Ana Devin, police said.

Pinkston, a computer analyst, was armed and uncooperative when he was taken into custody Monday after an anonymous tipster identified him in surveillance footage, authorities said.

"He's now paying the price," Devin said Monday. "He did a lot of damage to us, not just to me but to my colleague who was attacked."

She added, "With him in prison, we are safer. I'm happier, much happier."
