Prostitute solicits police chief

ZANESVILLE - Police Chief Eric Lambes knew immediately that 40-year-old Janice Day wanted more than just a ride.

For a mere $20, the Zanesville resident promised Lambes anything he wanted. What he got was one more prostitute charged with solicitation.

Day was arrested Friday morning after she solicited sex for money from Lambes in his unmarked cruiser. The incident followed a chance meeting at the Putnam Avenue Drive-Thru, Lambes said.

"The first time she approached me was in the parking lot, asking me for a ride," Lambes said. He said he could tell immediately what she was going for and replied with, "Ask me when I come back."

Welcome to my world. Truth is, I've heard so many stories of the cops shaking down the prostitutes for a quick BJ, that I'm not surprised she solicited him in his cruiser.

And in the article - if you see prostitution activity - call the police. WHAT A JOKE! Last time I called them on a prostitute, they took 45 mins to show up. I don't bother now, I just get in their face until they get off of my block. Actually, most of them know me now, and we have an uneasy truce.

1. Cops shake down, rape, and/or roll prostitutes OFTEN.

Happens literally every day.

The laws against sexwork give these women no recourse against predatory cops.

2. Yeah, but man this woman must be a few bricks short of a full load

The picture under cheif Lambes pic says, "and I was wearing a polo shirt that said Zanesville Police".

He really needs to get out and about more often.

3. a high school buddy of one of my co-workers

was a cop once.

he had a habit of giving young girls he caught with drugs or out on the corner the option of jail or giving him a blowjob.

one of the girls finally reported him a couple of months ago...

4. I'm glad the guy was caught.

I don't really have a problem with prostitution on a theorectical level, but I have to at least try to keep them out of my lot - or I become a "nuisence". Even though the area was famous for prostitution long before I got here.

And honestly, most of crack/meth addicted ho's out here are not very nice people.

I do have a BIG problem with cops taking advantage of people.
