Police fined a Madison man Tuesday after he called authorities to report a prostitute's lack of service despite having paid to receive ""everything.""
The man, 22, was fined $681 after he told an officer he knew prostitution was illegal but ""felt the police would get his payment back for him,"" according to Madison Police Department Spokesperson Joel DeSpain.
The young man explained to the police officer he thought the $200 price for the prostitute would encompass ""everything,"" according to the report.
""He did get something, but was told ‘everything' would actually be another $100,"" DeSpain said in a statement.
According to the report, the officer said he would not get the man's money back since it was used to commit a crime, even if he could identify the prostitute.
""In the eyes of a 22-year-old customer, he had just been victimized in a classic bait-and-switch, paid for services not rendered, and he reached out to police to make him whole again,"" DeSpain said in a statement.
