MPD MEMBERS RESCUE TWO RUNAWAYS FROM LIFE OF PROSTITUTION
On December 28, 2009, Detectives Jonathan Andrews and Steven Schwalm, along with
members of the Prostitution Enforcement Unit, responded to a Motel 6 after getting information from a juvenile absconder’s family that the runaway would be there. The absconder told her family that she was prostituting in DC and New York, and that she was being accompanied by three individuals, one of whom the detectives recognized as a pimp.
The two detectives devised a plan to rescue the girl. When she answered the door to the hotel room, the members entered and found two juveniles. While conducting interviews, the detectives found a third person in the room who was a known pimp.
One of the absconders revealed that the pimp wanted her to “work” that evening.
The male subject was placed under arrest for two counts of Pandering of a Minor, Pandering (Felony), and UCSA Possession of Ecstasy and Marijuana.
For working tirelessly on this case, which resulted in the arrest of a dangerous predatory criminal and the rescue of two juvenile runaways, these members were recognized at the April 2010.
