A man with a hearing problem faces charges after he allegedly asked a prostitute to speak up while they negotiated a deal.
Michael Carrier, 45, was arrested in New Milford Aug. 11, according to the Republican-American.
Carrier, who is from Bristol, was at a Friendly's restaurant with a woman when asked her to speak loudly because he had trouble hearing, the paper reported. The two were negotiating a money-for-sex deal, according to police.
The conversation became so loud that other customers heard the transaction and called police.
Carrier was charged with soliciting a prostitute. The woman, 46-year-old Linda Ottanio-King, is facing prostitution charges.
