Police found the names of the call girls in classified ads and phone books. Undercover officers arranged a meeting at four different hotels on Friday and Saturday night. MPD made 13 arrests, including four males for promoting prostitution.
“We want to drive down the business and I think we accomplished that,” said Police Chief Phillip Garrett. “This should also serve as a deterrent.”

More and more, the call girls aren’t even girls. Back in the ‘70, a Vice Officer from LA, CA, told me that some of the better looking call girls are men. This must still be true today - in fact I can think of one that looked good enough, to get in close enough, to score a can of pepper spray from the Deputy transporting him. HA
