Howard county police busted 9 johns in reverse prostitution sting in North Laurel, Maryland on 7/20/2016. One of the johns is experienced in life he is

65 years old, but not smart enough to head the warnings of the Howard county war on prostitution. Tactics have change to go into active monitoring

of prostitution activity. From looking at the press release it seems like the guys busted have gone to this location multiple times for prostitution

activities. It would appear that the charges will not easily dropped (multiple counts). They were also charge with disorderly conduct something that normally does not happen.
