Prostitution allegation closes escort service
An Everett escort service has been shut down after officers arrested a woman for allegedly promoting prostitution.
Police began their investigation after receiving an anonymous tip alleging that a prostitution ring was being run out of an Everett apartment in the 9000 block of W. Mall Drive, according to a search warrant filed in Cascade District Court Tuesday.
The tip included a copy of an ad from a weekly newspaper, court documents say. A detective called the number, made an appointment and allegedly was offered sex in exchange for $120.
Police arrested one woman on Oct. 22 and cited three other adults, Everett Sgt. Boyd Bryant said.

Lynnwood: Trial put off for tanker truck driver
The trial of a former tanker-truck driver whose crash on I-5 in Lynnwood last summer caused more than $1 million in damage has been rescheduled for Dec. 10.
On July 12, Gary Brammer reportedly fell asleep at the wheel of his northbound truck, which struck the railing of the 44th Avenue W. bridge in Lynnwood.
The truck overturned and 11,300 gallons of gasoline ignited and snarled freeway traffic for about 18 hours, according to the State Patrol.
According to the state Department of Transportation, the heat from the fire damaged the bridge deck and railing and cost more than $1 million to repair.
Brammer was fired by Harris Transportation when company officials learned he had not reported an earlier accident involving his own vehicle.
Brammer, 33, of Enumclaw pleaded innocent to the misdemeanor charge of reckless driving March 4 in Snohomish County South District Court. If convicted, Brammer could face up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine.
