Sioux Falls Police Information Officer Sam Clemens says a Milwaukee woman was arrested on prostitution charges.

"We had street crimes officers working and on the internet. They found an ad. This woman was advertising prostitution services," explained Clemens. "They ended up getting a hold of her and met her Tuesday around 10:30 PM. at a hotel in southwest Sioux Falls. Once they met, they ended up arresting her for prostitution."

Clemens says local authorities are concerned about human trafficking.

"Prostitution is one of the things that's been here. We don't think it's going away. But, we have really changed our focus from trying to arrest prostitutes and have find people involved in human trafficking - identifying them and getting them out of that kind of environment," continued Clemens. "That's our whole focus - locating those woman involve in trafficking. Sometimes we're able to get them out and other times end up making a prostitution arrest"

Clemens has this message for potential customers.

"We have done stings in the past and arrested johns.  So far, we've been very successful in that. You just never know. We may be having a sting next week or tomorrow night."

Nineteen-year old Samanta Vanetta has been charged with prostitution.
