Operation 'Extra Sugar': Police Bust Donut Shop Employee for Selling Sexual Services Alongside Glazed Treats

A roadside Dunkin' Donuts in New Jersey was apparently peddling more than just jam-filled treats when police busted an "overweight" employee for prostituting herself from the shop while on her shift. And according to police reports, the employee had been offering sexual services on and off for the past three years.

CNN reports on the six-week long police operation dubbed "Extra Sugar":

Melissa Redmond, an overnight worker at a Dunkin' Donuts shop on U.S. Route 46 in Rockaway, was arrested because she was offering sexual services for money, according to Detective Sgt. Kyle Schwarzmann of the Rockaway Borough Police Department.

The original anonymous tip came in early June and police started surveillance on Redmond, 29, soon after, according to Schwarzmann.

The major break in the investigation occurred after an undercover officer, or "John" went to the shop and spoke with Redmond, Schwarzmann said. The officer reported that during their initial meeting he was offered sexual services for money, he said.

The undercover officer met Redmond again around 3 a.m. on July 27 and was given a list of prices for what she had to offer, Schwarzmann said. Redmond took the money she was offered and was arrested, he said.

She was "forthcoming about everything," according to Schwarzmann.

...

Redmond, who faces a prostitution-related disorderly person charge, was released on her own recognizance and is scheduled to appear in court on August 10.

The franchise owner of the Dunkin' Donuts shop has reportedly put Redmond on unpaid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
