ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. -- An alleged prostitute and her pimp were arrested Wednesday at an Altamonte Springs hotel after officers responded to an ad on Craigslist.com, police said.

According to Altamonte Springs police, officers responded to the ad and set up a sting at the Hilton.

Adina Davis was arrested on prostitution charges after offering to have sex with an undercover officer for $200, police said.

Ernest Destine, to whom the hotel room was registered, was arrested while waiting for Davis downstairs, police said.

Police said similar prostitution cases do not often occur in Altamonte Springs, but officers monitor Craigslist.com and other Web sites daily for criminal activity.
