Two Face Charges in Prostitution Sting

A 25-year-old Iowa woman is facing charges after she was caught in an Oak Creek police undercover prostitution sting.

Trinette Nicole Harmon, of Des Moines, Iowa, was charged in Milwaukee County Circuit Court Saturday with one count of prostitution. If convicted, she faces up to nine months in prison and $10,000 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint:

Undercover police set up a rendezvous with Harmon, who also goes by the name Strawberri, on Wednesday, and she agreed to perform oral sex for $100 per half hour at an Oak Creek motel. Officers met her at the hotel where she was arrested.

Harmon told officers she was working as an escort in order to get money for Christmas and admitted to smoking marijuana prior to their arrival.

Police also found an Ecstasy pill in the room and discovered Harmon has pending burglary and criminal trespassing charges in Iowa.

Harmon's room was registered to Andrew Phillips Jr., 24, of Des Moines, who was later arrested after police found a loaded handgun and 45.8 grams of marijuana in his SUV.

Phillips was charged Saturday with one count of possession of a firearm by a felon and one count of possession of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.

The charges were dismissed at his initial court appearance, but Phillips remains in Milwaukee County Jail to allow prosecutors time to reissue charges against him.
