What would you do if you agreed on a price for a prostitute's services, only for her to take your money and raise her price?

When that happened to a 45-year-old Ann Arbor man Wednesday night, he decided to call police and report the woman for robbery.

Ann Arbor police Lt. Renee Bush said police were called at 10:30 p.m. to a home in the 2700 block of Packard Road for a report of a robbery. When investigators arrived, they found the man having a bit of trouble with a 19-year-old Ohio woman he had contacted online.

Bush said the man and the woman had agreed on a price for her services. But when the man gave her the cash, the woman reportedly took the money and informed him that the price had suddenly gone up.

Aggrieved, the man took the next step of calling police.

“So, she was arrested,” Bush said, shaking her head.

The stories the man and the woman told police regarding the night’s events were vastly different, Bush said. The man was not arrested, and it'll be up to Washtenaw County prosecutors to determine charges in the case.

The incident still is under investigation, Bush said. Police did not release information regarding the price of the prostitute's services or the website that the man contacted her from.
