GAYLORD, MICH. Michigan State Police posts and multijurisdictional task force teams have joined with
participating sheriff’s offices and city police departments to conduct enforcement operations across 19
counties in northern Michigan aimed at arresting individuals using the Internet to obtain the services of
prostitutes. To date, 35 arrests have been made in seven counties, during nine enforcement initiatives.
Because of these efforts, 73 total criminal counts have been levied, with 70 of the criminal counts evenly
split between solicitation for prostitution and using a computer to commit a crime. The remaining arrest
counts involved marijuana possession, oxycodone possession and possession of a firearm during the
commission of a felony. One person was arrested twice during these operations.
Below is a complete listing of persons arrested during these operations (with booking photographs
attached).
