Two arrested for prostitution
Lincoln Police arrested two peo
ple for prostitution Tuesday night in a
sting operation targeting local escort
services.
Twelve officers with listening
equipment were stationed at two dif
ferent hotels and placed calls to the
eight Lincoln-area escort services,
five of which responded, said
Lincoln Police Sgt. A1 Burnt, who
was in charge of the investigation.
Although police had received
complaints about some of the escort
services, none of the companies were
targeted in the investigation, Burnt
said.
A 17-year-old male dancer sent
out by Confidentially Yours agreed to
perform oral sex for an additional
charge. He was arrested for prostitu
tion.
At another location Christine
Swinney, 19, agreed to have sex with
the officer for $150. Swinney, who
worked for Strips Ta Please Exotic
Dancers, was also arrested for prosti
tion.
The operation, a repeat of a July
1996 sting, was done in an effort to
“keep these businesses honest,”
Burnt said.
“You never know who your client
is.”
Marijuana mail found at jail
Mail inspectors at the
City/County jail found a unique
Valentine’s card while they were sort
ing through incoming mail: It was a
pot-o-gram.
Inside the extra-thick card
inspectors found matches, a strike
plate and four rows of marijuana,
Lincoln Police Sgt. Ann Heermann
said.
Police investigated the return
address on the card, but it was
invalid.
Woman arrested for meth
A Lincoln woman was arrested
for possession of methamphetamine
at 3 a.m. Wednesday.
During a traffic stop, the driver of
the car was arrested for driving with a
suspended license. Police then found
he had marijuana and a switchblade,
Heermann said.
After the man was taken into cus
tody his female passenger asked the
officer for a ride home.
As he was driving, the officer
noticed the woman fidgeting in the
back seat.
When the woman got out of the
car the officer noticed a plastic bag
containing methamphetamine on the
floor of the police car.
The woman was arrested for pos
session of methamphetamine, a
felony, and taken to the police station
where another bag of methampheta
mine was found in the cruiser for a
total of an ounce.
