Bus Driver Snared in Prostitution Sting Jul 13, 12:03 PM (ET)CICERO, Ill. (AP) - A Chicago bus driver's unscheduled stop in suburban Cicero is proving very costly.
The Chicago Transit Authority had to shell out more than $1,200 to get the bus back after the driver pulled over Friday night, allegedly to connect with a woman he thought was a prostitute.
She was actually a Cicero police officer. The driver was arrested and other officers impounded the bus.
Transit officials said the driver was a part-timer, and if the allegations against him are true he will be fired because he was still in his probation period.
Cicero police said the arrest was part of a new prostitution sting operation, which has resulted in more than 100 arrests and the impoundment of 71 other vehicles.
