Ten Arrested in Prostitution Sting



Springfield police arrested ten women in an internet prostitution sting.

Deputy Chief Cliff Buscher says undercover officers rented a hotel room and ordered several women from the website backpage.com. Nine were arrested for prostitution and one for posession of cannabis.

Six of those arrested are reportedly from Springfield, one from Athens, and police say three of those arrested led to ongoing investigations.
