Doing undercover investigative reporting, no doubt......
Film at 11...NOT
Speaking of media whores...
Pray for W and Our Troops
Such a nuisance...
Just dang..
This headline reads as if the person was the prostitute, and not merely soliciting.
You might want to use your ping list on this one.
"Tardy works for First Coast News, WTLV in Jacksonville."
Ummm, probably not for much longer.
Re the perp on the right: You just can't make this stuff up.
Sigh...tough times for local news anchors. Ron Burgundy never had to pay for it...
Darryl Tardy
Heck--the truth is that the entire MSM could and should be charged with prostitution.
vaudine
This just proves we were right when we called them Media Wh*res.
This looks like a clear case of police violating the 1st Amendment rights of a tinkerbell brother who was working on a story exposing the Bush administration. The cops knew a black fairy presstitute would be biased toward Viet Cong John and they arrested him. Case will go nowhere!

Local news anchor arrested
By TIA MITCHELL
The Times-Union
Darryl Tardy, a Jacksonville television news anchor, was arrested at a public park Thursday evening and accused of trying to get an undercover detective to expose himself, police said today.
Vice detective Tommy Herrington was walking down a trail in the woods at Westside Regional Park when he passed another man, according to an arrest report. The man began touching himself suggestively and looking at the detective.
After a brief conversation, the man said to the officer, "You're a cop, aren't ya," the police report said. The officer said he wasn't.
The man asked the officer to prove he wasn't a cop, the report said. Herrington asked if that meant exposing himself, and the man nodded his head yes. When the detective refused to expose himself, the man wouldn't talk with him anymore.
Herrington arrested Tardy, who lives in the 1300 block of Menna Street, about 5 p.m. Thursday. He was charged with offering for prostitution, a second-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 60 days in jail and a fine of up to $500.
Tardy is the lead investigator for First Coast News, the Times-Union's news partner. In addition his reporting duties, he also anchors Good Morning Jacksonville on Saturday mornings.
He joined First Coast News in November 2000 after serving as a reporter anchor and host of a talk show for R News in Rochester, N.Y.

The answer doesn't address the assertion. Prostitution behind closed doors, where there aren't children, is still illegal. Solicitation for sex in a public park could be criminalized even if prostitution were legal, and it would address the cop's concern.
