Telling It Like It Was –
June 24, 2018 – We’re either told to do it, or we have to because we’re sick … They should get a chance to go to rehab, not jail,” said 25-year-old Ashley Mullins. Between the two undercover street prostitution stings Chillicothe police did in 2017, they arrested three women and 20 men. While all three of the women who had offered sex acts to an undercover officer were found guilty and fined, charges were dismissed for more than a third of the men accused of trying to pay the undercover officer for sex acts. Online court records show none of the three were ordered to any treatment as a result of the soliciting conviction … Nearly a year ago, 35-year-old Tara Pettit, of Ray, had hit a point after 10-plus years of addiction where she was tired. She’d lost her family, her children, and her brother, Bobby Pettit, died in January 2016 after crashing his car while fleeing police. They’d been looking to score that night, she said, and he’d paused long enough to let her out just a few minutes before crashing.
