During the same operation, officers arrested Johnny Haynes on a count of promoting prostitution. According to court papers, the undercover officer met Haynes at the Airways Motel and asked him where he could find “some women.” The affidavit said Haynes got into the officer’s car and directed him to Gordon Street and quoted him a price for services from a prostitute. In each of the arrests, court papers indicate the encounters were video taped.
