Prostitution sting leads to more arrests

GAINESVILLE - Four more arrests have been made in connection with an undercover prostitution sting in Hall County. Lt. Scott Ware with the Multi Agency Narcotics Squad said that all four men offered undercover officers money in exchange for sex. All of the arrests were made Wednesday and all suspects are charged with pandering.

Lt. Ware said the busts are being made in a part of Gainesville frequented by prostitutes.

"We'll keep the location under wraps for now," said Ware. "We'll continue to work these investigations as along as they're fruitful."

Those arrested in this latest phase of the probe included: Ernest Charles Bowman, 42 of Reidsville, North Carolina; Juan Castillo Dominguez, 49, of Murrayville, Georgia; Roger Lee Richards, Jr., 39, of Lithonia, Georgia; and Elias Soto Casas, 37, of Gainesville, Georgia.

Three men were arrested last week in Gainesville in connection with the same undercover investigation.
