Eight out-of-towners nabbed in prostitution sting

Eight men from out of town charged in a sting operation with solicitation of a prostitute remained behind bars early Friday, police said.

The case began Thursday when the Boerne Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety conducted a joint operation in search of child predators and subjects soliciting prostitutes, according to a press release.

“These arrests are the result of more than a month of planning with Texas DPS,” Boerne Police Chief Steve Perez said in a prepared statement. “Thanks to our strong collaborative effort, we are able to identify and get these subjects off the streets.”
