A 45-year-old Fort Wayne woman was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of prostitution Monday after an undercover Fort Wayne police officer was offered sex for money at a local massage parlor, authorities said.
The woman was arrested about 10:30 a.m. Monday at Relaxation Station Massage Parlor, 8113 Lima Road. An undercover officer had gone to the parlor after receiving a tip about possible prostitution there.
The officer went inside the parlor and received a massage. After the massage, he asked whether there were any “extra services” available. The woman then agreed to perform a sex act with the officer for money, police said.
The woman was the only employee working at the parlor at the time. Police do not expect to make any additional arrests in the case.

3 DWI counts stem from Albion crash
A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a Noble County man accused of driving drunk with his family in his car, according to the Noble County prosecutor.
Harold Bruce, 40, of Wolcottville, was driving a Chevrolet Lumina near Albion on Aug. 22 when he disregarded a stop sign and collided with a minivan, according to sheriff’s deputies.
Bruce, his wife, Janice, 31, and their two daughters, Katlinn, 6, and Megan, 4 months, were all injured in the wreck. Katlinn was initially listed in serious condition at Fort Wayne’s Parkview Hospital. Her condition was upgraded to fair last week.
No members of the Bruce family were listed as hospital patients Monday.
Open beer containers were found in Bruce’s car around the driver’s seat. Bruce was tested at the hospital and his blood-alcohol content registered 0.15 percent – almost twice the 0.08 percent limit considered legally intoxicated, deputies said.
Noble County Prosecutor Steven Clouse said Monday a warrant had been issued for Bruce’s arrest.
Bruce will be charged with three felony counts of driving under the influence, along with misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence and operating while intoxicated. He will also be cited for an open container in a vehicle and for disregarding a stop sign, Clouse said.
