Amarillo ends prostitution raids after tactics shift
Amarillo authorities report voluntary closing of known houses of prostitution following a change in prosecution tactics. Twenty one women face general vagrancy charges while several earlier prostitution cases were dismissed for lack of admissible proof. Bondsmen now must prove adequate means to cover bonds, and raids have led to heightened fines and aggressive arrests. The crackdown aims to remove prostitutes and deter operations citywide.
