Hooker "Milkshake" Meets Her Waterloo

MAY 11--Meet Milkshake and Sparkle.

The Wisconsin women were arrested Friday in an undercover prostitution sting triggered by the duo's placement of a Craigslist ad. Connie 'Milkshake' Christon, 22, and Britney 'Sparkle' Hyler, 20, were nabbed at a Ramada Inn in Waterloo, Iowa, where they apparently traveled to service clients.

According to criminal complaints, a 'concerned citizen' called cops to report seeing 'an ad on Craigslist that had two prostitutes in the downtown Waterloo area.' After calling the number listed for 'Milkshake' in the ad, a cop was directed to the hotel, where he was later offered oral sex for $200. After both women were arrested, Hyler explained that Christon, pictured below left, would perfom the sex act and collect the money, while she was 'in the room to assure nothing would happen' to her friend.

District Court documents do not explain the genesis of the pair's respective nicknames. Though Christon's handle may have something to do with her ability to bring all the boys to the yard. Or the budget hotel. (4 pages)
