Two male suspects were arrested following a weekend prostitution sting by the Dickinson Police Department.
The undercover detectives posted ads on sites known to be used for the solicitation of prostitution. The men responded to the ads and agreed to pay for sex. When they arrived at the locations, detectives placed them under arrest.
DAVID JON TORGUSON (38-year-old from Tioga, ND) and WESLEY THOMAS JONES (27-year-old from Belfield, ND) were both charged with Solicitation of Sex, which is a Class B Misdemeanor. They were subsequently transported to the Southwest Multi-County Correctional Center.
The Dickinson Police Department conducts periodic sting operations such as this in order to discourage sex crimes and reduce the possibility of human trafficking.

It can be a symphony of chaos punctuated by moments of life or death decision-making. At all hours of the day or night, they don the headset and are available to give instructions, send help, or simply be an ear to talk to. It's a challenge well-accepted by the talented Angels of the Airwaves at the Dickinson Police Department. Our very own Communications Specialist II Tenille Weyer describes the life of a dispatcher and how the intensity of the job and the knowledge of helping people every day is very real and very rewarding.

What an adrenaline rush. I was 1st on scene and thanks to couple of strong guys who busted doors so we could get in and all search for anyone in house. Thank goodness no one was in house and a family dog was saved. Thank you to the other 3 individuals who came in searching with me ❤️
