| EDWIN HARRIS - FIREFIGHTER, MASSUER & MALE PROSTITUTE? |
A firefighter for the city of Little Rock, Edwin Harris, who was working off-duty as a masseur at Asian Massage on Bowman Road was arrested by an undercover female police officer after he made an agreement to engage in sex with her for $40.00.
Harris has been a licensed massage therapist since 2000 and has been employed by the Little Rock Fire Department since August 2012.

Earlier this month officers say a female undercover detective paid for a massage in which she says Harris engaged in sexual contact.
The report says Harris also followed the detective to her car and agreed to have sex with her for 40 bucks, that's when he was arrested.
"It's upsetting when anyone gets arrested for those types of charges but when it's someone held in high regard by the community it hurts that much more," says Lt. Sidney Allen.
Harris was the only person charged at the business with prostitution which is a misdemeanor.
At this point police say the investigation is on going and would not say if there will be other charges.
The Little Rock Fire Chief did not want to talk about the arrest, however we're told Harris is still working at the fire department.

- UPDATE -
Harris stuck some kind of deal to get the case dropped (a massage and sex with the judge maybe?) and remains employed as a firefighter.
