A South Whitehall man was one of five men arrested in a police-orchestrated prostitution sting at a "cooperating Hanover Township, Northampton County hotel," according to a press release issued Wednesday by Colonial Regional Police.

Police say Marc A. Capozzolo, 27, of the 300 block of North 40th Street, South Whitehall, was arrested between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Feb. 21.
