Prostitution
Three females were arrested Wednesday night in a prostitution sting conducted by the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office in Ypsilanti Township.
Conducted on East Michigan Avenue, the string brought in the first suspect, a 28-year-old Milan resident, at 5 p.m., when she, like the other suspects, reportedly approached an undercover deputy “and offered him sexual acts,” according to a report from the department.
Police said all of the suspects were arrested and brought to the Washtenaw County Jail.
The second suspect, a 34-year-old Pinckney resident, was arrested at 7:45 p.m. The third suspect, a 40-year-old homeless female, was arrested at 8:40 p.m.
