That for once not having extreme excess cash, and thus not being able to afford such, would pay off.

Well duh. If she won't get in the car to talk business, she's a cop. Golden rule of street mongering, IMO.

Looks like a visit to bogart's might be in order instead of john are. Looks like wayne co. Is trying to generate some more revenue before the new governor takes a ax to the budget (translation wayne isn't getting a share of tax money for services) whatever happened to that one bill where leo couldn't take your car?

Besides who wrote the article, took me a second to realize that lance was actually lantz.

From the USAToday, Police kicked off "Operation: Room Service" by filing this online ad on Backpage. Com and other social networking sites: "Busty blue eye Nikki is back in town." The "Nikki" sting resulted in the arrest of 33 people at five hotels who police say arranged sexual encounters with prostitutes at local hotels or tried to purchase services, the article says. The first part of the operation targeted alleged prostitutes and pimps. Undercover officers negotiated sex acts and prices, then met suspects at the hotels.

The article says that 22 people were arrested on charges related to prostitution or pimping, with an array of other charges including juvenile pimping and possession of a gram of heroin.

"Operation: Room Service" also targeted the clients. More than 70 men responded to the ads advertising "Busty Blue Eye Nikki" and "Winter Peaches."

"Within minutes of posting the ads, our undercover phone lines were burning up with calls," Three female officers were set up undercover in hotel rooms with video equipment. A total of 11 men ranging in age from 25 to 43 were arrested on charges of solicitation. This took place in Joliet ILL,

Court cost paid by the guilty plus fines and possible required classes (run by the courts you pay for the classes) or community service (free labor).

Who knows it may be a very good money maker.

DETROIT (WXYZ). At least three men armed with guns stormed the Tycoons Gentlemen's Club on Eight Mile near Groesbeck Thursday night, terrorizing customers and staff.

Police tell Action News the men didn't get away with much, only stealing cash from the front door bouncer.

According to a dancer who works at the club, who didn't want her name used, there were three to five guys. She told Action News the situation unfolded quickly. With the guys bursting in with guns and telling everyone to hit the floor. A Tycoon's customer says he was with his nephew inside when it happened.

"They said get down (expletive) and we got down. I just kept telling myself I didn't want to die," Salam Joka said.

Investigators believe the group may include up to five men in their 20s. And that they may be responsible for a string of bar and strip club robberies that have gone down in the past few weeks across Detroit.

No one was seriously hurt in Thursday's incident.

LE is busting SW and johns when they should be looking for these guys.
