Authorities say Internet escort Amy Shoemaker and her friend, Thomas Hudgins, were hoping to repeat a previously successful armed robbery scheme: Shoemaker sets up a prostitution date and Hudgins robs the John. But their plans went to pot when they discovered their intended target was actually an undercover Gretna Police officer working a prostitution sting.
"They didn't realize there was a police officer in the room and officers were outside conducting surveillance," said Gretna Police Chief Arthur Lawson. The date-turned-robbery-turned-bust occurred on July 11.
Lawson said investigators were working an ongoing investigation into prostitution conducted via the Internet. They set up a rendezvous with a woman who advertised her services on a website known for prostitution, he said. The woman agreed to meet and provide sex in exchange for $160, according to an arrest report said.
They arranged to meet at a motel in the 100 block of West Bank Expressway in Gretna. Just before 1 a.m., Amy Shoemaker, 23, of Metairie, arrived with Thomas Hudgins, 31, and his brother, Richard Hudgins, 39, both of Westwego, arrest reports said. Shoemaker and Thomas Hudgins got out of the car and walked towards the hotel room while Richard Hudgins appeared to act as a lookout.
Thomas Hudgins, armed with a pistol, reviewed the robbery plan with Shoemaker before heading towards a nearby corner to hide. Officers overheard their plans. "From the way he was approaching the room, it was obvious to the detectives outside he was looking to storm the room," Lawson said.

“Guess who resisted the police?”
that’s like asking if obama lied today..
Intersecting that she is an “alleged prostitute”, but the intent to rob is a certainty.
Looks like the Gretna cops opened a Big Can of Whoopass on that boy...red
Man I hate auto spell mistakes, especially when I’m criticizing someone else’s writing. It’s just not helpful.
I can’t decide. They all look like they’ve gone a few rounds with an ugly stick...
Ah New Orleans and the greater metropolitan area, how I miss you not.
Is that the chick from Batman: The Dark Knight? /s
The girl might be non guilty if you fix her up a little bit and get her to smile. But knowing what she does for a living - there’s not enough condoms in the world to get me to hit it.
Her smile would show her meth mouth.
A bow in her hair, would definitely help.. Perhaps a bit of rouge.. Thats it a bow.. yep.. :)
A little on the trashy side.
Is that what the police were chanting as they whipped little Tommy’s butt, er face?
Nah, too pretty.
That’s one ugly threesome...
LOL. When the Joker said “Hello beautiful”, I was like he’s f***ing crazy as hell!!!
Laz would hit it...
