Lorain Police: City councilman arrested in prostitution sting

LORAIN -- The Lorain and Elyria police departments teamed up Friday night, putting decoy prostitutes at locations around the city.

That's when police say they arrested Dennis Flores on suspicion of solicitation and OVI.

Flores is an elected member of the Lorain city council

In a statement to Channel 3 News, Flores said: "No one is infallible. I made a bad lapse of judgment. I'm very regretful. I apologize to my family and the City of Lorain. I'm embarrassed and ashamed. Hopefully I will be able to move on and help move the city forward."

Overall, six people were arrested.
