3rd Prostitution Case At Elmhurst Hotel: Cops

ELMHURST, IL – Elmhurst's Clarion Inn last week saw its third prostitution case since last fall.

About 7 p.m. Thursday, police said they arrested a 57-year-old Elk Grove Village woman on a prostitution charge at the hotel, 933 S. Riverside Drive.

The woman was soliciting and advertising for prostitution, police said. She was released.

On Feb. 25, a 45-year-old Wood Dale woman was charged with the same offense at the hotel.

Her boyfriend, a 46-year-old Blue Island man, and friend, a 31-year-old Orland Park woman, were found with crack cocaine, police said.

They were charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. The 31-year-old woman was also charged with obstructing identification.

In September, a man was accused of inviting two female prostitutes to his room at Clarion Inn, police said.

While they were listening to music, one of the women took his phone to change the song, but then used it to access Venmo and Zelle to transfer money from his account, police said.

Police reports indicated that officers also responded to cases involving prostitution in August and November at Extended Stay America hotel, 550 W. Grand Ave.

Both hotels received chronic nuisance warnings from the city last year.
