A recent undercover operation in Palm Beach resulted in the arrest of two women accused of offering illicit services at an upscale restaurant.
On January 30, an officer from the Palm Beach Police Department was working on an undercover sting operation for solicitation. The man went to the Meat Market Steakhouse in Palm Beach and started talking with two women. It was reported that during the chat, one of the women allegedly told him he could purchase a $2,000 “package deal,” including sexual services and drugs, which she called “party favors.” She reportedly said they should get a hotel room where she and her friend would provide entertainment.
According to reports, the conversation extended beyond the initial meeting, and the woman later sent text messages to get him to agree to the previous offer. A follow-up meeting was arranged at a different establishment, where the officer met the same two women a second time. While there, payment options were reportedly discussed, and one of the women allegedly handed over something she called “Colombian Caviar,” which was purported to be a small amount of cocaine. The officer took it into the bathroom and asserted it was cocaine.
