A Columbia man was arrested after complaining to police that he was ripped off by two prostitutes.
Ryan McNames:
Sought money back from prostitutes
Officers were dispatched to a complaint of theft around 7 p.m. Saturday, said Columbia police spokeswoman Officer Jessie Haden. Ryan M. McNames, 19, of 2701 E. Nifong Blvd. told officers he offered two women $60 for one of them to show him her chest and for the other to perform oral sex on him.
After he placed payment on a stereo, one of the prostitutes showed him her chest, but the second did not perform oral sex, Haden said. The women took the money and left.
McNames requested that the officer contact the women and get them to return at least $40 for an incomplete transaction. He told the officer he knew it was illegal but that he had made similar transactions before.
McNames was arrested on suspicion of patronizing prostitution and released from the Boone County Jail after posting a $500 bond.
