Bentleyville police charge woman with prostitution
A Westmoreland County woman, already wanted on a warrant obtained by Greensburg police, was arrested Thursday night by Bentleyville police on prostitution and other charges at a borough motel after police said they found her advertising on the internet.
Iyeashia Cheyenne Hudspath, 24, of Greensburg, also is charged with possession of an incapacitation device and possession of drug paraphernalia. After finding her alleged advertisement, Chief Richard Young said he called her Thursday and negotiated a price.
About an hour later, she arrived at the Holiday Inn on Smita Lane. She went to a room and was invited in by Officer Peter Jaskiewicz. The officer, who was working the detail, asked if the price was still good and inquired as to what that included, according to court documents. She allegedly outlined the sex acts included in the price. Police said Hudspath was looking in her purse for condoms when Young took her into custody. Police said she was in possession of an electronic stun device, three cellphones and drug paraphernalia.
Hudspath is wanted on the warrant obtained earlier this year by Greensburg police on charges of simple assault and terroristic threats stemming from a Jan. 3 incident.
She was arraigned before District Judge Traci McDonald and placed in Washington County jail on a $10,000 percentage bond. Hudspath is scheduled for a March 14 hearing before District Judge Curtis Thompson.
