EVERETT, WA -- Prosecutors in Washington state have dropped prostitution charges against a bikini barista accused of selling more than coffee at an espresso stand.
The Daily Herald reports that Everett Municipal Court Judge Timothy O'Dell approved a deal between Everett prosecutors and the 21-year-old Kirkland woman that would drop the charges if she promised to stay out of trouble for two years.
If she fails, she could face prosecution in municipal court for violating the adult entertainment ordinance.
The woman also agreed to testify against four other Grab-n-Go baristas charged last year with prostitution and violating city ordinances. Similar plea deals are expected for all but one who has indicated she plans to go to trial.

It is good to hear though that we are not wasting jail space on harmless criminals.
