Court documents say when the arranged meeting took place on Oct. 19, Maldonado pulled a knife on the man and robbed him of more than $1,000.
It’s not clear if the unidentified man who agreed to meet with the woman for sexual favors will face charges.
Maldonado is scheduled to enter a plea in the case next week.
