This was a “How to Catch a Predator” type of sting, but instead of catching pedophiles, they went after men who like to solicit prostitutes.

“The locations prostitutes choose for this type of criminal activity vary and seldom remain the same for more than a couple of days at a time, which makes enforcement difficult,” Police Chief Jeffrey Leonard said in a statement.
Raymer's attorney, Wade Smith, issued a statement to ABC11 Friday:

Raymer, who won the 2004 World Series of Poker, was released on $1,000 bond, has a court appearance scheduled for April 18.
