Local News Anchor Charged With Prostitution

Fri Oct 15, 5:09 PM ET Local -

WJXT News4Jax.com

A local television news anchor was arrested on prostitution charges Thursday.

Darryl Tardy was arrested at Westside Regional Park. Police said the arrest was part of their normal undercover work to eradicate prostitution.

Officers said they chose the park because of complaints from nearby residents. It has also been the site of prior prostitution arrests.

According to a police report, Tardy asked an undercover officer if he was a cop and demanded that he prove that he was not.

Tardy was reportedly arrested after the sheriff's officer refused to expose himself.

Seven men were arrested in the sting. Police emphasized that prostitution is not a victimless crime.

"The problem is, there are children there and it's not right for people to go there to act out their fantasy or what they think they want," said Public Information Officer Ken Jefferson.

Tardy works for First Coast News, WTLV in Jacksonville. The station had no comment on the arrest.

Tardy waived his first appearance in court and is in a Duval County jail.

No doubt his 'investigative journalism' was inspired by Woodward and Bernstein....Mr. Tardy was merely searching for 'deep throat' ;-)

What next? He holds a tearful press conference where he apologizes and announces he is a Gay-Newsanchor-American?

The mugshots of the seven. Hrm, I'm wondering what clientele they were catering to.

Did anyone note the name of one of the others arrested... Kevin Blower?

If you hear about "prostitution" going on at parks, highway rest stops etc, it is almost 100% of the time Gay prostitution.

But it really didn't *stand out* in the article.

It told the facts of the case. What do you want it to say, "Hey, this guy's a homo"?
