Suggestive Web ad gets couple arrested
This was on the QC Times website. If you want to learn the guys full name, address and see his picture you can check out the Quad Cities Times website. It should be available for a week or two. This is not the Amanda who I met last September when I was in town.

An East Moline man and Moline woman were arrested Sunday night in a sting that began with an ad on craigslist.com for a 'head specialist.' Police say Amanda Marie Hardy, 26, 3620 Pine Ridge Ct., and Roy XXXX, 38, of XXX XXXXX, were involved in a pimping and prostitution deal that used the popular Craig's List Web site to arrange meetings.
Both were arrested after an undercover police sergeant arranged a meeting with a woman after responding to an add on Craig's List for 'head specialist available,' according to an affidavit filed in Scott County District Court.
Bettendorf police Capt. Steve Brauer said before George Ramos was promoted to sergeant, he was the computer crimes expert at the department. Still, he occasionally re-visits his old post, as he did with this case. 'I just know he saw it, made the contact and went from there,' Capt. Brauer said.
The two met around 9:40 p.m. at the Traveler Hotel in the 400 block of 14th Street in Bettendorf, the affidavit states. The woman offered to provide oral sex to the plain clothes officer and was arrested, according to the affidavit.
Originally arrested under the name, Amanda Brahimi, Bettendorf police learned today that Amanda was using an alias. When the woman was being arrested, a truck with temporary Illinois tags left the parking lot. It was the same truck the woman rode in before meeting with the undercover officer, the affidavit states.
The truck allegedly returned to the hotel parking lot after officers took the suspected prostitute away. Police stopped the vehicle because its rear license plate wasn't lit, the affidavit states. The man allegedly gave contradicting stories about his actions and what he knew about the woman.
After Amanda was at the Scott County Jail, she told an officer there that she and the driver of the truck, identified as Roy XXXX, would share the money from a prostitution job he drove her to, the affidavit states. Then, they'd usually go get something to eat afterward, the affidavit states.
Amanda was charged with prostitution and Roy was charged with pimping. They both made first court appearances on the charges this morning. Their attorneys are expected to appear for them Tuesday morning.
Court records show Roy is currently on a six-month court supervision for an endangering the life of a child charge out of Rock Island County. Amanda has two prior prostitution arrests in Scott County in 1999. Roy and Amanda remained in the Scott County Jail late today on $9,750 and $6,500 bond, respectively.

What a shame. Two hungry people trying to be indeppendent, and stay off wel-fare, and they are made residents of the tax-payers anyway. I think the police just have too much time to do stuff like this.

What a pair of losers! How sad to think that these two are roaming the streets of the Quad Cities. This young lady if she had her head straight could be making much better decisions regarding her life. She needs to get rid of this creep and get into a program to straighten out her life. Here's hoping someone can talk some sense into her.

Whatever, she was working with what she had. I'm sorry but I think there are more important crimes than prostitution out here.

Spa could re-open if access changes
Looks like some good news of a sort. Wonder if this means it will no longer be fun? I am still wondering why someone would complain?

A Milan spa which recently came under fire after an employee was charged with prostitution may soon reopen if an agreement can be reached regarding access to the building.
Village and police officials met with Island Spa owner An Song, 63, and her lawyer today at a public hearing to determine if the business at 3422 E. 1st Ave. complied with city ordinances; specifically one stating that massages cannot take place behind locked doors.
Milan police shut down the business shortly after March 30 after receiving several anonymous complaints of alleged sexual acts being offered for money.
Hui Kim Chong, 44, of Colorado, an employee of the spa, was charged with prostitution April 12 after an undercover investigation conducted by Milan police.
There is a warrant out for Ms. Chong's arrest. She faces a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by a $2,500 fine and a year in jail.
According to Ms. Song's attorney, Matthew Leddin of Gallagher Millage & Gallagher, Davenport, it is believed Ms. Chong returned to Colorado after charges were filed.
According to Milan police, people entering Ms. Song's business could freely access the building's front door but had to ring a buzzer to gain entrance past the vestibule. One officer, who asked not to be named, said there was a camera in the entryway so that employees could determine who was trying to gain access -- which officers said could prevent police or state regulators from entering.
Mr. Leddin said there are no locks on any of the massage rooms.
After discussing city ordinances, village administrator Steve Seiver requested village attorney Lincoln Scott and Mr. Leddin draft an agreement that would allow Island Spa to reopen on the condition that Island Spa's doors not be locked during business hours.
The business is expected to reopen in a couple of days after an agreement between both attorneys has been reached and receives Mr. Seiver's approval.
Village officials did not discuss the pending prostitution charge or license and registration of the business at the hearing, as these will be handled by the state.
A 'Closed by order of Milan Police Department' sign on the door of the spa has been removed.
I knew the defendant's attorney
This could get deleted but attorney Matthew Leddin mentioned in the case below I knew throughout college but I haven't talked to him in about 8 years. He was my roommate for one year- a year too much! Not exactly the most honest and trustworthy guy. He was the kind of guy I'd hate to admit being a friend of. Rumor has it in high school he got in trouble for making sexual advances towards a girl during Davenport debate contests. Having known him I don't think he would be against what has gone on behind the doors of the Island Spa.

I ate to many ribs at Jim's Rib Haven @ am sick from eating the whole slab. Should have stuck with a boney box special instead. Really hard to bust one with that sitting in your stomach.
