Sioux Falls Police Officer Sam Clemens says a Michigan man has been arrested on prostitution  charges.

"The Street Crimes Unit of the Police Department found an ad on the internet as they do in most other cases. This is Friday night. They ended up getting hold of this person. It was different in this aspect ---it was a man that was prostituting himself. Normally we see women that are prostituting themselves. Officers and the man arranged to meet at a hotel in the South West part of Sioux Falls. Once the meeting took place, they ended up arresting him for prostitution."

Clemens believes this is the first time a man has been busted for prostitution in Sioux Falls."

"Most of the time in the recent past we have been dealing with women prostitutes. I can't think of a time when we have had a male prostitute. We have certainly encountered males that are soliciting women for prostitution and we have arrested them. It's pretty rare to have a man arrested on these charges."

Clemens says a friend of the suspect was charged with practicing massage without a license.
