Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Detectives have arrested four men for allegedly soliciting prostitution during two separate sting operations in Goleta.
In each case, a Sheriff’s spokesperson said, the suspects responded to a phony online sex ad and arranged to meet what turned out to be an undercover deputy at a local motel.
All four were booked into County Jail. The Sheriff’s Special Investigations Bureau has similar sting operations planned for the future, the spokesperson said.
