The women who were arrested are all in Kootenai County Jail awaiting $300 in bail money. “Which ultimately aided in the goal to reduce the number of prostitutes in Kootenai County.” “Several social media posts were being made warning of the 'prostitution sting' at the Casino,” says Lieutenant Stu Miller in a press release. The team returned the evening of April 30 hoping to arrest a few johns, but word about the enforcement action had gotten out on social media and only one man was arrested. With the help of the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, tribal police swooped in April 29, taking eight suspected prostitutes into custody. The Washington law enforcement agencies had successfully cut down on prostitution at Washington casinos in 2012 and were able to provide suggestions on staging a sting operation. The CdA cops sought guidance from the Kalispel Tribal Police, the Airway Heights Police and the Spokane Police Department, Keen says.

They reached out to the Coeur d’Alene Tribal Police for assistance.

The resort casino’s security team had been noticing suspicious activity, too. Regulars at the Coeur d’Alene Casino began complaining early this year that they were being approached by prostitutes, says the tribe’s Public Relations Director Heather Keen.
