LAWTON Okla_ A Wichita Falls couple is slapped with prostitution charges
after being arrested in Lawton
earlier this week.
To make matters
worse, the couple brought the woman's one-year-old child along. According to an
affidavit, an Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics agent conducting a sting noticed
22-year-old Taricka Bell's ad. She was advertising her services under the name
"Sexychick22" and "Sunshine", offering her services to
anyone "looking for fun".
The agent
answered her ad and agreed to meet her in Lawton.
The agent said he and Bell
met that evening. He said once Bell
agreed to exchange sex for 600 dollars, agents burst in and arrested her as she
was undressing. They also found cocaine in her purse.
Agents arrested
Bell's
boyfriend, 31-year-old Ermond Gates, in the car. Her son was in the back seat,
and agents found a loaded gun in the car. Gates claimed he had no idea what Bell was doing.
Bell faces up to
ten years in prison on drug possession and prostitution charges, and Gates is
looking at two years in prison for pandering charges.
