Newton -

A bizarre sexual rendezvous involving carrots and crack cocaine has led to three arrests.

Police charged three people Sunday with stealing a laptop computer from a Newton man as collateral for an insufficient check used for sexual purposes, according to court documents.

According to court documents, Newton resident Brendan O'Neill, 46, of 441 Lowell Ave., wanted to watch Carlton Haynes, 37, Alicia Culipher, 23, and Tara Bowers, 27, shower together in his home.

Bowers said that O'Neill tried "to involve carrots as a type of sex toy" during the episode, according to court documents.

O'Neill told police he met Haynes at a bar in Chinatown and made arrangements to buy crack cocaine and watch the three shower at his home, according to court documents.

O'Neill told police he wrote out a check for $150 for crack cocaine that was used at his house, which was later confirmed by Haynes, according to court documents.

When O'Neill discovered he had insufficient funds to cover the check, Haynes, Culipher and Bowers left, taking O'Neill's Sony laptop as collateral, according to court documents.

Police received a call from O'Neill and stopped Haynes, Culipher and Bowers at the intersection of Lowell Avenue and Otis Street.

According to court documents, police believed Bowers was high on drugs. She later admitted she had been smoking crack cocaine for three days and had just recently finished 7 grams of crack cocaine at O'Neill's home.

Police also discovered Bowers had a warrant out for her arrest out of Boston District Court for disorderly conduct.

Haynes was found with a glass pipe and O'Neill's laptop computer and cell phone in a bag. Haynes also had two checks in his possession. One for $150 and the other for $750.

O'Neill claimed Haynes stole a check from his checkbook and wrote out a draft for $750. Haynes told police the check for $750 was written to the group for sexual favors.

According to court documents, police questioned Haynes, Culipher and Bowers who gave a similar account of what happened at O'Neill's home.

Haynes, of 164 Intervale St., Boston; Culipher, of 151 Garland St., Everett; and Bowers, of 10 Burnett St., Jamaica Plain, were charged with larceny over $250. Haynes was additionally charged with possession of a Class B substance.

According to court documents, police said they would be seeking a criminal application against O'Neill in Newton District Court for three counts of paying for sexual conduct and falsely reporting a crime.

Haynes, Culipher and Bowers are due back in Newton District Court on July 31 for a pretrial hearing.
