Sad to see this led to an arrest and the news

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) -- An Iowa City woman who tried to trade sex for gasoline faces prostitution charges.
Police say when they approached 44-year-old Lisa Langer in an unmarked car early Wednesday morning, she offered them sex, but asked for gas in return.
Police say Langer appeared to be hitchhiking near downtown Cedar Rapids.
Langer has been charged with prostitution and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Police say they found a drug pipe in Langer's purse.
Who among us hasn't been willing to blow someone for gas? Er, I mean at least she wasn't trying to steal. She wanted something (gas) and she was willing to offer a payment for it. I understand that it's not the payment most of us would have offered, but is this really deserving of an arrest and jail time?

  1. My question is this; why would a hitch hiker need gas?

  2. I have to see her picture before I can determine if it was a crime or not ....
