Residents Arrested In Prostitution Sting Named Save Email Print

A | A | A

(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.

They dont have pictures of the others b/c they were not arrested and they are going to "John School" but I agree they shoue shame them as well.

It says 16 were arrested where are the pictures of the rest of the people? They should also make public if they have HIV.

Posted by: anonymous Location: waco on Sep 26, 2008 at 07:50 AM
I can't imagine anyone paying money for that! That is just gross!!!!!!

Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 25, 2008 at 11:53 PM
This is a very sad story no doubt motivated by drugs. Talk about some rode-hard looking women.

Posted by: Sam Bam Location: Tx on Sep 25, 2008 at 05:00 PM
How would you like to bring them home to mom and dad!

Posted by: Parent Location: waco on Sep 25, 2008 at 03:39 PM
What the holly macaroni! That Linda lady looks terrible! You have got to be desperate!

Posted by: K Location: Waco on Sep 25, 2008 at 02:03 PM
Can someone say nasty looking? No wonder their prostitutes.

Posted by: Carrie Location: Killeen on Sep 25, 2008 at 11:25 AM
Are people that desperate? Ewww

Posted by: Anon Location: Waco on Sep 25, 2008 at 11:20 AM
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!!!!!!!

Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 25, 2008 at 09:01 AM
Nasty!

Nasty!

Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 25, 2008 at 07:56 AM
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.

Posted by: NANA 47 Location: CENTRAL TX on Sep 25, 2008 at 07:51 AM
IF THESE ARE THE PROSTITUTES,THEN WHO EVER IS SLEEPING WITH THESE TRASHY LOOKING PEOPLE SHOULD BE ARRESTED ALSO THIS IS SO PITIFUL.

Posted by: Me2 Location: CenTex on Sep 25, 2008 at 07:47 AM
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.

Posted by: Larry Location: Fort Hood on Sep 25, 2008 at 06:55 AM
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!

Posted by: concerned Location: waco on Sep 24, 2008 at 05:11 PM
