A local television news anchor was arrested on prostitution charges Thursday.
Darryl Tardy was arrested at Westside Regional Park. Police said the arrest was part of their normal undercover work to eradicate prostitution.
Officers said they chose the park because of complaints from nearby residents. It has also been the site of prior prostitution arrests.
According to a police report, Tardy asked an undercover officer if he was a cop and demanded that he prove that he was not.
Tardy was reportedly arrested after the sheriff's officer refused to expose himself.
Seven men were arrested in the sting. Police emphasized that prostitution is not a victimless crime.
"The problem is, there are children there and it's not right for people to go there to act out their fantasy or what they think they want," said Public Information Officer Ken Jefferson.
Tardy works for First Coast News, WTLV in Jacksonville. The station had no comment on the arrest.
Tardy waived his first appearance in court and is in a Duval County jail.
"Tardy works for First Coast News, WTLV in Jacksonville."
Ummm, probably not for much longer.
No doubt his 'investigative journalism' was inspired by Woodward and Bernstein....Mr. Tardy was merely searching for 'deep throat' ;-)
What next? He holds a tearful press conference where he apologizes and announces he is a Gay-Newsanchor-American?
Re the perp on the right: You just can't make this stuff up.
Did anyone note the name of one of the others arrested... Kevin Blower?
Kevin Blower, huh.
Sigh...tough times for local news anchors. Ron Burgundy never had to pay for it...
What a fine looking crew! /sarc Did you notice that one mugshot was of Kevin Blower - you can't make this stuff up if you tried!

'Kevin Blower..' LMFAO!

If you hear about "prostitution" going on at parks, highway rest stops etc, it is almost 100% of the time Gay prostitution.

Heck--the truth is that the entire MSM could and should be charged with prostitution.
vaudine
I'm sure Darryl ain't smiling now.
It told the facts of the case. What do you want it to say, "Hey, this guy's a homo"?
