A woman was arrested in a prostitution sting but not before she got two double cheeseburgers off the dollar menu at a McDonald's restaurant.
Christine Faith Baker, 47, was walking on a street Friday when she was approached by a detective working in the Manatee County Sheriff Office's special investigations division, according to a sheriff's office report.
After the undercover detective invited Baker into his car and the talk turned to sex, she said her fee would be two double cheeseburgers from the dollar menu at McDonald's, the report states.
The detective bought the burgers for $2.75 and then Baker told him that he could also tip her $40 for her services, according to the report. After Baker gave the detective directions to a vacant lot, Baker was arrested by other agents and charged with prostitution, the report states.
The report does not indicate if Baker got to finish eating the food before she was taken to jail. Baker was released from jail Saturday, according to the sheriff's office website.

Talk about a cheap date ping!
The McDouble is on the $1 menu, the double cheeseburgers are not.
The difference between a McDouble and a Double Cheeseburger is ONE SLICE of cheese!
Wow, how desperate do you have to be, eother for a cheeseburger or an arrest?
/sad world
I can only feel sorry for her. She has to be in a pretty bad way to do that.
Yes, she was FREAKIN' 47 years old! Dude, there's an age limit to that profession, or ought to be.
Did she also get french fries with Moochie’s apple slices?
Nookie for a cookie?
The article is wrong. Double cheeseburgers aren’t on the dollar menu anymore. They cost around $1.25 now, so the amount is probably right, but the dollar menu thing is wrong.
And like 50 calories! Thank you for that! I just looked it up and you are right. That 50 calories makes a difference in my world. Thanks! :)
It’s easier than saying “a McDouble for which he paid an extra 25 cents for cheese. She also held the pickle.”
Thanks, Pinkbell. I feel the same way.
They weren't on the dollar menu. McDoubles (double cheeseburgers) cost $1.00 each. Difference between them and the double hamburger on regular menu is that McDoubles have only one slice of cheese versus two for a regular cheeseburger, which is what must have been ordered if the bill came to $2.75.
There's obviously an excise tax on foods that the government deems are bad for you.
If she'd done it for two yogurt snacks, then it would have only been $2.12 and would have reduced the charge from a misdemeanor to an infraction.
Do we pay these journalist types the big bucks to let them take the ‘easy’ way out? Okay, so maybe we do. But we can still make fun of them, right? :)
What is wrong with this world?
Maybe if she gave ME the cheeseburgers...
Good grief. I would hold out for a big juicy steak.
