Spinal Fire Scientia Est Potentia

Clifton Ray Dwayne Oliver, 36, from Spokane, Washington appeared before Justice of the Peace, John Odlin and has been charged with promoting prostitution. If convicted, the felony charge carries a 10 year sentence and/or fine of up to $50,000. According to the AP and Missoulian newspaper, the Missoula police arrested Oliver on Thursday and are holding him in the Missoula Country Detention Facility on a $250,000 bail.

When a complaint was filed by an StayBridge Suites on Expressway employee, police launched an investigation . The employee had informed police that she had witnessed Oliver smoking drugs with another woman in a vehicle parked outside the hotel. It was also reported that Oliver had approached a guest of the hotel regarding sex with a prostitute. During the course of the investigation, a police officer posed as a potential customer and engaged in a text conversation with the prostitute. Police later identified the woman as Alida Lattimor, who told the officer that it would cost him $250 for the sex. A meeting was arranged and Lattimor was arrested and charge with misdemeanor prostitution.

The Associated Press reported that Oliver allegedly used a website to promote a prostitution service which used the Missoula, Montana motel for rendezvous.
