She told police that there is a high demand for her services.
She also said that some men have had her dress up as a little girl to satisfy their needs, the report said. According to the police report, police have made several narcotic and prostitution arrests in the Days Inn parking lot.
The area also has had frequent fuel and motor vehicle thefts, as well. Canton Police were patrolling the area and became suspicious after noticing a silver Dodge Caravan pull up to a hotel room, but nobody went in or came out, the report said.
