Prostitution Sting Yields Arrest At Downers Grove Red Roof Inn

DOWNERS GROVE, IL -- A Schaumburg woman was arrested on charges of prostitution and unlawful use of a weapon after a sting that took place at the Red Roof Inn in Downers Grove on Jan. 23. Police say they found a handgun and 13 rounds of ammunition on Nautishia TK Burnette, 30, when she was taken into custody on prostitution charges in connection with an ad police found on a website online.

Police say they began the prostitution investigation after finding an advertisement on listcrawler.com, which led them to the Red Roof Inn at 1113 Butterfield around 2 p.m. on Jan. 23.

After an investigation at the hotel, police attempted to take Burnette into custody, but say she initially resisted arrest. During a search of Burnette's purse, police say they found a handgun with 13 rounds of ammunition. Records show that Burnette lacked an FOID to possess the gun legally, police say.

Burnette's vehicle was seized by police and her phone was taken as evidence. She was charged with prostitution, unlawful use of a weapon, resisting arrest, and driving on a suspended license before she was released on bond.
