A Maryland man has been accused of being a pimp for two teenage girls.
Howard County Police arrested 46-year-old Arthur Coleman of Laurel after an investigation into online prostitution ads that featured a 13-year-old girl, police said.
An undercover detective posed as a young girl interested in being a prostitute and arranged to meet the 13-year-old and a man in Columbia. Coleman was arrested after he arrived with the 13-year-old girl and a 15-year-old girl, police said.
Police said they found condoms, cash and multiple cellphones in his car.
Investigators believe Coleman rented hotel rooms for the prostitution of young girls and drove them to locations in Maryland, Washington and Virginia.
Coleman faces multiple trafficking and prostitution charges. It's unclear whether he has an attorney.
