A Grove City woman has joined the list of reported prostitutes arrested on New Castle’s streets.
New Castle police on Tuesday arrested 30-year-old Marsha Tillia and placed her in the Lawrence County jail on an outstanding bench warrant.
She will be charged with prostitution and possession of drug paraphernalia, after police found three hypodermic needles in her possession.
According to police, an off-duty officer said he was pulling into the lot of a West Washington Street business and Tillia, wearing an FBI T-shirt, approached him and offered him sex for money.
He summoned on-duty patrolmen and she ran. Police chased and tackled her. As she tried to get up, she was tackled again and arrested, police said.
The off-duty officer reported that Tillia asked him if he was a cop and he told her he wasn’t. She then gave him a range of prices from $30 to $150 for her services. The $150 would be the charge if she was with him all night, he said.
Police learned she was wanted on an active bench warrant from Lawrence County Adult Probation.
Tillia’s arrest is the third in a recent series of arrests within the past two months of women soliciting on the city streets. Others arrests were made in groups by undercover officers. Their cases are pending in court.
