(September 24, 2008)—Waco police Wednesday released the names of the 16 men and two women arrested in a two-day prostitution sting on Sept. 18 and Sept. 19.

Read The Waco Police Arrest Log From The Sting

The sting targeted areas of North and East Waco.

Eleven of those arrested were issued summons to appear on Oct. 2 in municipal court to attend “John School.”

The others were taken into custody because of prior acts of violence on their records, police said.

The number of arrests in the two-day sting was lower than in two stings last summer, police said, during which police arrested more than 100, police said.

The reason for the decline may be the activity of the Waco Police Department’s Street Crimes Unit, which has been working in areas of town where residents have complained about prostitution, police said Wednesday.

This is a very sad story no doubt motivated by drugs. Talk about some rode-hard looking women.

I agree, I hope these two women are prostitutes. That is totally disgusting. You would think that with all the money they are supposedly making they can get makeovers. Can you say NASTY!!!!!!!

Not only are they nasty looking, but I read the arrest report and the woman with the last name Duran is the same age as me. My 78 year old mother doesn't look as old as she does.

If these women are prostitutes, they must do something amazing. I have to agree with Mr. Reed, nasty looking. The whole bunch looks like a bunch of losers.

They must be VERY inexpensive. But then again, only people of this stature will engage in this type of behavior.
Posted by: Me Location: Waco on Sep 25, 2008 at 06:34 AM
Of course they can be prostitutes...They are only pretty on TV!! Most of them are doing it for drugs.
Posted by: Mrs. Reed Location: Waco on Sep 24, 2008 at 10:12 PM
I know those women can't be the prostitutes? Can we say nasty looking!
