Who says nothing good comes from Wisconsin?

This comes to us from the Waterloo-Cedar Falls (Iowa) Courier…

Waterloo police arrested two Wisconsin women for prostitution after they allegedly set up shop in a downtown hotel.

Capt. Tim Pillack of the Waterloo Police Department said the two advertised on the Craigslist website. After receiving a citizen’s complaint, investigators sent in an undercover officer, who was offered oral sex in exchange for $200, according to court records.

Officers arrested Connie M. “Milkshake” Christon, 22, and Britney L. “Sparkle” Hyler, 20, both of Milwaukee. Christon was arrested for prostitution and identity theft. Hyler was arrested for conspiracy to commit prostitution.

According to court records, Christon used another person’s identity to rent a room at the Ramada Inn in downtown Waterloo. She allegedly offered the sexual favor in exchange for cash.

Hyler told police she was in the room to assure nothing bad happened to Christon.

Maybe he was just “shagging” flies?

Sports news from the Orlando (FL) Sentinel…

The Atlanta Braves indefinitely suspended pitcher Deunte Heath on Friday after police arrested him in Kissimmee in a Craigslist prostitution sting.

Braves spokesman Brad Hainje said officials Friday sent 24-year-old minor-league pitcher Heath back home to Decatur, Ga.

Heath was in Central Florida with the rest of his team for Braves spring training headquartered at Walt Disney World’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

Hainje said Braves officials will not comment further on the arrest, stating they are “continuing to gather information regarding the charges against him in Osceola County.”

Kissimmee investigators on Thursday accused the professional athlete of agreeing to pay $75 for “a sex act” with a prostitute, police spokeswoman Stacie Miller said.

Heath faces charges of soliciting a prostitute and entering a dwelling for prostitution, jail records show.

The player bailed out of the Osceola County Jail Friday after posting a $2,000 bond.

Heath played college baseball at the University of Tennessee and was the Braves’ 19th-round pick in the 2006 amateur draft. He played in 32 minor-league games last year, seven with the Class AAA Gwinnett Braves and 25 with the Class AA the Mississippi Braves.

Police said detectives set up the sting by posting classified ads on the Craigslist and Backpage websites. The men and women arrived Wednesday and Thursday to a townhouse in Kissimmee and agents quickly arrested them.

The suspects include Constanza Ortega, 51, of Pembroke Pines; Benito Molintas Jr., 33, of Lakeland; Paola Londano, 24, of Orlando; Ronald Gonzalez, 33, of Orlando; Luisa A. Pulla, 25, of Miami; Charnique Devine, 22, of Orlando; and Simone Howard, 18, of Orlando.

Verna How, 25, also faces drug-related charges, reports show.

Miller said more arrests made during the sting are pending.

Woman fined for “back taxes”

This comes to us from Reuters…

WARSAW (Reuters) – Poland’s tax office has levied a fine of 2.3 million zlotys ($820,000) on an unemployed woman for failing to pay tax on income worth at least 13.7 million zlotys she said she had earned as a prostitute.

The woman told the tax office in the southern city of Katowice that she had very “generous” customers, the website gazeta.pl, which is linked to leading Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza, reported Tuesday.

One of her clients paid the woman 5 million zlotys during the 1997-2002 period, she was quoted as saying.

The website gave no further details.

Sex for World Series tickets?

Time for the New York Daily News with sports…

The Phillies fan accused of pimping herself out for World Series ticketsclaimed Wednesday she was just flirting with the undercover cop who busted her – not selling sex.

“I was hoping maybe I could get a cheaper price flirting with him,” Susan Finkelstein, 43, said on the “Opie and Anthony” radio show, a day after she was hit with a prostitution charge.

“You know, batting my eyes. It’s not unheard of.

“It was him who brought the whole thing up anyway,” added the married Finkelstein.

“It was just unbelievable that when we started talking about sexy stuff, I got arrested.”

The self-described “desperate buxom blonde” said she didn’t even have to put on an act. The cop she met at a bar after he replied to her Craigslistad was “kind of cute.”

“They sent out the good-looking, blonde, kind of Marine guy,” she said.

In her ad, Finkelstein begged for tickets and said she could be “creative” about payment.

After she met with the undercover cop, she was hauled away in cuffs – but her story may have a happy ending.

Finkelstein is slated to receive free tickets to Sunday’s game compliments of a local radio station and car dealership.

“The only thing she’s guilty of is being a humongous Phillies fan,” said Joey B., executive producer of the “Chio in the Morning” show.

Man pays for private dance with funny money

This comes from the Wyoming Tribune Eagle…

CHEYENNE – A local man has been charged in federal court with counterfeiting money, allegedly to pay an exotic dancer for a private session at a motel.

Rickey A. Kempter, 50, of Cheyenne faces up to 20 years in prison on charges of making and possessing counterfeit U.S, currency.

A judge is scheduled Wednesday to determine if there is enough evidence to send Kempter to trial on the charges.

According to federal court documents, Kempter met two dancers Oct. 6 at the Green Door Lounge on East Lincolnway, one of whom he called later to arrange a private dance at the Lariat Motel on Central Avenue.

The dancers told Cheyenne police that they took a taxi to Kempter’s residence, where they picked him up and drove around town for about 30 minutes, court documents show.

The taxi driver told investigators that they dropped off one of the dancers and proceeded to the motel, where Kempter asked him to hold a roll of $50 bills.

“(The driver) noticed that the money was ‘funny looking’ and that several of the $50 Federal Reserve notes were not cut evenly,” court documents show. “(The driver) further noticed that several of the $50 Federal Reserve notes had the same serial numbers.”

The driver then called his boss, who notified police.

Investigators said they questioned Kempter, who said he wanted to “front like the money was there” to pay $800 for a private dance. He admitted to making the bills on a printer at his home, court documents show.

According to the documents, Kempter told investigators he planned to go home and pay with real money, but none was found at his residence.

Eventually, Cheyenne police contacted the U.S. Secret Service.

The criminal complaint alleges Kempter made and possessed $1,200 worth of counterfeit $50 bills.

Kempter’s attorney, Mark E. Macy, declined to comment, saying he has not had much time to speak with his client.
