Following an investigation, Lawrence Police set up a sting operation at The Comfort Inn and arrested Tukes on an outstanding warrant. During a search, police allegedly found him possessed marijuana, heroin, crack cocaine and powdered cocaine.

Police then set up an appointment with McManany. When the officer went to her room, McManany was arrested. Police then went to the Red Roof Inn, where Glose, Caraballo and Piercey were arrested. Madaffari was charged a short time later.

According to police, Tukes set up Back Page accounts for the women and had them working out of both motels.
