Probe at Dunkin' Donuts nets prostitution charges
A New Jersey Dunkin' Donuts employee is accused of selling more than sweets and coffee, after a six-week investigation revealed the woman exchanged sexual services for cash while on shift, police say.
The undercover operation, called extra sugar, began after police received a tip about a night-shift employee at the donut shop in Rockaway, N.J.
Det.-Sgt. Kyle Schwarzmann said a sting revealed the 29-year-old woman would go to vehicles on her shifts for 10 to 15 minutes and money was exchanged.
"She was a nighttime employee (working 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.), supposedly a very good one," Schwarzmann told the Daily Record of Parsippany.
The woman also allegedly asked an undercover officer, posing as a john in the drive-thru, to call her if he wanted a good time. Police said she then gave him a price list for her services. She was arrested when the officer returned a second time after she got in his vehicle and they drove to the rear of the shop, police said.
Melissa Redmond of Mine Hill, N.J., faces prostitution charges.
