Police in Golf Manor say a man was running a local prostitution ring on Craigslist, serving as a pimp.

It's a story 9News broke.

Officers arrested 24-year-old Jeremy Bruce of Golf Manor Thursday night on several charges.

Police were originally called to investigate a domestic incident at his home on the 6000 block of Stover Avenue around Noon Thursday, and booked Bruce around 8:30 p.m.  

Police say in the course of investigating the domestic incident, they discovered Bruce was managing two individuals engaged in prostitution. 

It's alleged that Bruce handled the finances and promoted the activities on Craigslist, which is a popular, free classified ad website.

Bruce allegedly "compelled one female to engage in prostitution and introduced the other to prostitution," police say.

Amy Engel, a woman of the same address as Bruce, is also facing several charges related to the case.  She is facing two counts of prostitution, two counts of complicity, and one count of procuring.
