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.

I’m gonna have to start hanging out around Mickey D’s. Wait, I ain’t stupid - do it in upscale neighbourhoods.
Given this story, I can say that America is beginning to look like Europe after WW-II. Prostitution was rampant there for years ... including ... at family homes where families depended on the income.
The detail not mentioned in the snippet of the earlier excerpt of this story.
He knew he'd have to put SOME money in her hand in order to be able to make a case. Otherwise it's a dinner date.
Meanwhile New York governors whore it up without much criminal prosecution.
Sad. Woman definitely needs help.
She will probably be better off in jail, she will get free mails and a bed to sleep on.
You declare prohibition on junk food and some women will turn tricks just to get a burger.
Anyone have the lyrics to Junk Food Junkie?
Taxes and maybe she had fries with them.

“They weren’t on the dollar menu.”
Well if the arresting officer is wrong about that, what else is he wrong about? Sounds like grounds for dismissal.
Yeah, it’s easy to poke fun at this, but you have to be extremely desperate and/or possibly mentally ill to do something like this. She needs help as opposed to ridicule.
Agree with both of you. Pretty tragic.
Yes.
SO have I back in my youth.
Back in my youth, you could get a burger, fries and a coke along with 3 cents change for your dollar.
Even Clinton managed to get the bums, if not the whores, off the streets.
Completely agree. Truly pathetic when you really reflect on it.
Looks like Joe Pesci in a wig. Yuck!!!
Nope, and I’m guessing most of the time they don’t look like Elisbeth Shue from Leaving Las Vegas, either.
aren’t you embarassed to know so much about a McDonalds
menu?
