Several men and women were arrested during a prostitution operation conducted by the McCracken County Sheriff's Department.

According to detectives, they say they receive several complaints of prostitution in the area. In response to the complaints, detectives with the McCracken County and Marshall County Sheriff's Offices conducted an operation that focused on prostitutes and those that seek out prostitutes.

The McCracken County Sheriff's Department posted an ad for services on a common website, similar to how other previously arrested prostitutes had done. On Wednesday September 17, within thirty minutes of the ad being posted, an undercover detective began receiving phone calls and texts from individuals wishing to pay for sexual acts.

Eight men were arrested for soliciting prostitution as well as other offenses within approximately four hours. Several men arrived at the location with weapons, and two of them were found to be in possession of marijuana.

On Thursday September 18, detectives arrested four men and one woman. The men had all arranged to pay an undercover detective for sex acts, and the woman agreed to performing sexual acts for money with an undercover detective. Detectives found and seized money, drugs, sexual paraphernalia, and cell phones from all arrested that entered an agreement for a sex act for money.

Men arrested for solicitation of prostitution were: 45-year-old Bryan Rodgers of Paducah; 46-year-old Patrick Massa of LaCenter; 24-year-old Kentrell Thomas of Clinton; 41-year-old Aaron Storey of Bardwell; 59-year-old Jeffrey Webb of Anna, IL; 40-year-old Danny Underwood of Puryear, TN; 21-year-old Michael Foster of Murray; 34-year-old Brian Northern of Jackson, TN; 44-year-old Devin Hopkins of Harrisburg, IL; 28-year-old Phillip Wyatt Jr. of Kevil; 34-year-old Joseph Uhls of Sesser, IL; and 47-year-old Joel Brindley of Paducah.
