Attorney Among Sting Arrests

KINGSPORT, Tenn. – Police cast the bait about a week before their first arrest of Howard Orfield, a Bristol, Tenn., attorney.

Orfield, 49, was one of more than 50 people who responded to a fake online personal ad police posted in their latest prostitution sting, detectives said Monday.

The ad was posted in the “casual encounters” section of the popular classified Web site craigslist, and was “worded in a way that a woman was staying in a hotel for a few days and looking for some company,” said Kingsport Police Detective Tim Crawford, one of several vice detectives who worked the sting.

“We got him hook, line and sinker,” Crawford said of Orfield’s arrest on April 22.

Orfield, who lost a 2006 Republican bid for Sullivan County General Sessions Division 1 judge and whose law offices are on the Volunteer Parkway, was the one of three “johns” arrested that night, Kingsport Detective Nathan Elliott said.

1. Police and their little traps.

Why not stick to busting people for not wearing seatbelts, no helmet, or illegally crossing the double yellow line?

I love the smell of entrapment on a spring evening.
