An article in the Ft. Worth Star Telegram said that Parker Coounty Special Crimes Unit lured criminals to a sting operation in Weatherford and arrested about 10 people for crimes ranging from prostitution and drug possession to various alchohol and traffic related violations, as well as warrants from other cities. Police spokesperson Cpl. Wendy Fields said "Prostitution attracts many other forms of crime..." She also said the police hope to keep vice out of Parker County by luring a few suspected prostitutes in the sting operations. However, none of those arrested were from Weatherford or Parker County. They were lured, by internet ads, to Weatherford from Ft. worth, Arlington, Carrollton, Abilene, and Arlington.
Is it just me... but how are you keeping criminals out of your town if you are putting out ads luring them to your location? I would applaude the effort if they had found any prostitutes, drug abusers, unlicensed drivers, and open container violations actually among the citizens of Parker County. It seems to me if you are importing your criminals, you aren't really keeping the vice out of Parker County.
But maybe that's just me...
