“I said, ‘I charge a hundred dollars for both,’ and they pretty much said all right and came on over to the room,” Davis told Channel 2.

Police then arrested a man who admitted to Channel 2 that he solicited for sex.

Most of the people Channel 2 questioned Wednesday night denied their involvement.
