On Friday, February 19, at 3:10 p.m. New Castle police officers arrested a 46-year-old Chappaqua resident for prostitution, a misdemeanor.
New Castle Police Department Detective Sergeant James Wilson described the arrest as the culmination of a couple of months’ work with the Westchester County district attorney’s office, which included setting up a meeting between the accused and an undercover police officer and watching the rented house on Quaker Road where she lived alone and from which she conducted her business.
According to Wilson, the district attorney’s office regularly monitors internet sites such as Craig’s List, where they found and followed up on ads posted by the accused seeking “upscale men.” On Friday, accompanied by a New Castle police detail, a plainclothes police officer posing as a client responded to the accused’s invitation to have sex for money, Wilson reported. According to the New Castle Police Department Press Release, “When she was met she was arrested and charged with prostitution. She was released on an appearance ticket to return on March 4, 2010, to the Town of New Castle Justice Court.”
