Of the six arrested on Sunday, Remones McDaniel, 29, Dorell Korngay, 19, DeShawn Washington, 26, and Zyquan Twitty, 20, were wanted on outstanding warrants and charged with Contempt of Court. However, all, including Yusef Hudson, 26 and Derrick Benson, 25, were charged with prostitution and soliciting prostitution.
