Tuesday night, Steubenville police, with the help of other outside agencies, hit the streets in a city-wide prostitution sting.

The arrests were made at Beatty Park, Seventh and University, Butte Street, and Fifth and South Sixth. In all, six females and one male were arrested and charged with soliciting prostitution. Wednesday morning, the judge arraigned:

Ronda Towler, 25, Shirley Hoover, 56, Annabelle Meto, 46, Maryann Baker, 41, Lawana Montgomery, 42, Delmar Cunningham, 30, all of Steubenville, and Racinda Grimm 31, of Toronto.

Cunningham, Grimm, Montgomery, and Hoover are also facing drug charges.

"They both go hand in hand you can work both at the same time and we're going to concentrate on this for a while, " said Steubenville police chief Bill McCafferty.

This is the second time this week Hoover has been arrested for soliciting prostitution. She, along with two others, were arrested last Wednesday in another sting operation.

"We know what they're doing. You just can't go up to somebody on the street and arrest them, these things take time. We get the proof and now it's in the hands of the court, " says McCafferty.

Wednesday, all of the defendants entered a plea of either not guilty or no contest. The judge continued all cases except for Hoover's and Meto's. Both were found guilty and sentenced to 30 days in jail.

Steubenville police said they will continue the crackdown on prostitution. They said more arrests may be forthcoming.
