On Miami beach, cops find a brothel-on-wheels

MIAMI: A "brothel bus" that detectives said cruised Miami Beach offering lap dances and drinks has taken its last ride, police said on Wednesday.
Riders were offered oral sex for $100, according to Miami Beach police who impounded the limousine bus and arrested its operator early on Sunday.
The sleek black bus cruised the South Beach neighborhood popular among tourists and club-goers, offering rides and unlimited drinks for $40.
Miami Beach undercover detectives who paid a $40 entry fee and boarded the stretch limousine bus said they found a fully stocked bar and several young women who stripped down to reveal G-strings stuffed with cash and offered to perform sex acts and lap dances.
Suspected operator of the bus Christine Morteh, 29, was arrested on charges of offering to commit prostitution, transportation for the purpose of prostitution and operating a business without a license, Miami-Dade jail spokeswoman Janell Hall said in a statement.
Morteh was released from jail on $5,000 bond. Hall said Morteh does not yet have an attorney. A telephone listing for her couldn't be found.
The driver of the limousine, Clyde Scott, along with four other people on board was also arrested.
Scott, 41, also faces charges including directing another to prostitution, possession of a controlled substance and deriving support from prostitution, Hall said.
He was released Sunday on $11,500 bond. It was not immediately known if he had an attorney.
Other employees and customers also were charged as part of a citywide prostitution crackdown that resulted in 75 arrests.
