Hookers Working at Super 8 Motel Busted, Cops Say

The two women had set up shop at the Super 8 motel on McDonough Street and were advertising their services in backpage.com, police said.

 

Two women working as prostitutes out of a Joliet motel were arrested by an undercover Joliet police officer Tuesday night, police said.

Versie L. Ridley, 19, of Chicago, and Tiana M. Reed-Morrow, 31, of Calumet Park, were taken into custody after the officer arranged to meet them at the Super 8 motel, 1730 McDonough St., and one of them agreed to provide him with straight sex in exhange for $100, Cmdr. Rich Demick said.

Police were alerted to the situation by a suspicious ad placed in backpage.com that sounded like it could be a sex trade operation, Demick said.

It's not known how long the pair were working at the motel or why they chose Joliet as their location, other than "Joliet's a pretty good-size town and it's kind of easy to get lost here," whereas they would be more conspicuous in a smaller town, he said.

Ridley and Reed-Morrow were charged with prostitution and possession of less than 2.5 grams of cannabis. They were released on a signature bond and are due in court on Feb. 28.

First off we were not prostituting the reason we got the room is foe space I was visiting my wife. Second the police officer lied and said he had received a anonymous phone call saying we were selling drugs and prostituting meaning we were set up. The computer will show we were in the room for all of 2hrs during that time no one came in or out but the officer. The ad Versie posted was under body rubs not escorts when the officer arrived I was sleep and immediately went into the bathroom to relieve myself he forced his way in and asked me about a special before I could reply 4 male officers came into the room. They ram sacked our stuff and made belittling comments despite the fact that I made it clear I have 2 jobs and Versie is in school. This is deformation of our character and I don't appreciate it at all so after court the Joliet police will be hearing from my Lawyer.

I love how the hooker commented on the article. That made my whole day. Really? You posted an ad for "rub downs" and you're hanging out in a hotel room. Seems legit.

Just another case of joliet police department screwing over someone else from out of town just because the requirement to be hired on JPD is to a prick and if you haven't noticed they probablly just left humkin donuts and had nothing else to do.

Im not being mean but i could give 2 shits about what someone does to there own body......jpd has not yet sovles the murders of darryl davis, christopher perry and many many more.... but you got alot of free time to do banquets, and golf outings claiming its to show honor to a fellow officer but in reality doing none of ya'll deserve it! The murders of delasse"chubbs" & andrian"mook" are now getting looked over and somewhat forgotten about since the guy getting charged was found not responsible YET he's still incarcerated though. Fuck what these bitches was doing to they body they from chicago anyways why are they so important to the point there in the joliet news?
