Five Arrested During Prostitution Operation
August 22, 2019
TPD’s Special Investigations conducted an operation aimed at curtailing street level prostitution activity within the City of Tallahassee. The operation focused on both prostitutes and individuals who solicit prostitutes also known as “Johns.” The operation yielded a total of five arrests with charges ranging from prostitution, solicitation, possession of paraphernalia, warrants, and theft.
While conducting the operation investigators observed Domieque Phillips running into the area while looking back as if he was being chased. Moments later, Phillips made contact with an undercover investigator posing as a prostitute and committed the act of solicitation for sex. During the investigation, officers were approached by an individual who advised Phillips had just stolen their cell phone from a neighboring street. Probable cause was then established to charge Phillips for the theft of the phone.
