Man arrested after offering undercover cop two cents for sex

A Florida man has been arrested for soliciting prostitution after he offered an undercover sheriff’s deputy two cents to have sexual intercourse.

Fausino Diaz Hernandez, 46, allegedly approached the deputy outside a Circle K gas station in Bonita Springs with his lowball offer. She took him up on it, then radioed nearby officers to swoop in and make an arrest. According to the sheriff’s office, the deputy received nine other offers for her services that night, most in the $20 to $30 range but one as high as $300.

Sgt. Matt Chitwood noted that Hernandez promised to give the deputy “a lot of other things” in addition to the two pennies, including some cigarette lighters and a bicycle, “but two cents was the monetary value.”
