MARCH 28--A hooker who was filmed by a drone as she serviced a john in the front seat of a car has pleaded guilty to a public lewdness charge, according to Oklahoma court records.

Amanda Zolicoffer, 27, copped to the misdemeanor charge and was sentenced to a year in state prison, a term that will run concurrently with lengthier sentences she received last month in an unrelated felony prosecution.

The case against Zolicoffer’s codefendant, Douglas Blansett, 76, is pending.

Zolicoffer and Blansett were charged with public lewdness after a self-described “video vigilante” provided Oklahoma City cops with footage (seen above) showing the duo appearing to have sex in the front seat of Blansett’s truck.

According to a probable cause affidavit, Brian Bates, the anti-prostitution avenger, followed Blansett’s Ford F-150 after he spotted Zolicoffer entering the vehicle. When the truck turned down a deserted road leading to a tire yard, Bates launched his drone from an adjacent street.

As seen in Bates’s footage (beginning around the 4:10 mark), he lowered the drone to within a few feet of Blansett’s truck. As detailed in the police affidavits, the footage revealed that “Zolicoffer’s pants were off and the driver appeared to be having sexual intercourse with Zolicoffer.”

Investigator Ben Lacaze noted that, “Once Zolicoffer and the driver saw the drone, they immediately ceased their activity and left the area.” Lacaze, a Vice Enforcement Unit officer, stated that he was “familiar with Zolicoffer and her involvement in prostitution related activity,” adding that she had distinctive facial tattoos that were visible in the drone video.

Zolicoffer’s rap sheet includes convictions for prostitution, credit card theft, cocaine trafficking, larceny, leaving the scene of an accident, and concealing stolen property. Blansett is a defendant in a second lewdness case in which his codefendant is a convicted prostitute.

That was just wrong. And ya'll need to alert the car date enthusiasts to be careful. Some folks don't take kindly to others getting laid if they themselves, are not. I don't know this guy's motive for drone stalking a hooker and her gentleman friend, but ya'll be careful. Maybe get some of those "window shades".
I agree MaxiMilyen this is wrong... We have to be more careful

I don't do car dates, but I dunno, maybe ensure your date has those as it would be cumbersome to tote those around. LOL. But yeah, I'd hate to see any that do end up on the board with all her biz and the clients biz shared with the masses. Exhibitionism is all fine and dandy, but maybe a more private venue is in order.

I didn't see any money change hands in that clip.

Who's their lawyer? This should've been argued in their defense that they were oh, just two adults hanging out. Even a scrub lawyer could've argued this.

Then again, they probably had a public defender who makes $7.50 an hour and doesn't care one iota about his/her clients.

Say, for example, if one of us go piss by a tree in the park, it's the same offense, but they wouldn't put us in jail for it. We'd likely have to play a stupid fine and maybe do a weekend of community service. Putting her in jail seems over the top. They just want to be an asshat to her.

And to think that drones are being used for this and the government STILL is looking for ISIS related terrorists....

It's easier to chase around perverts than terrorists. The low hanging fruit theory. Plus, they're worried about terrorists' rights and shit.

As far as the 'Vigilante' goes, it AMAZES ME, 100 million percent to the power of infinity, that this guy has not ONCE gotten his ass kicked.

You mean to tell me, out of all these pre-drone incidents, that not one crazy joker has gotten out of the car and whooped his ass? Not once...not even one time???

Come on!!!

MARCH 28-- On Oct 10 2015 Video DVD was given to a law enforcement agent of A hooker who was filmed by a drone on private property considered public as the properties gates were open and was a business property. as she serviced a john in the front seat of a car truck, a ford f150, white has pleaded guilty to a public lewdness charge, according to Oklahoma court records. She was charged with Lewdness but because of previous charges she was given a year that she was going to be serving anyway so her atty did their job not getting her a prostitution charge that could have become a felony charge. The delay in turning this info over was because the drone operator did not have consent from the property owners to fly the drown over their property bus was able to obtain it and turned DVD over to police sometime after he did.

Amanda Zolicoffer, 27, copped to the misdemeanor charge and was sentenced to a year in state prison, a term that will run concurrently with lengthier sentences she received last month in an unrelated felony prosecution.

The case against Zolicoffer’s codefendant, Douglas Blansett, 76, is pending. Chances are that he will be fined, face treatment, and placed on a SIP by pleading guilty to creating a public nuisance or similar charge with a couple of years before charges are released on the lewdness charge.

Zolicoffer and Blansett were charged with public lewdness after a self-described “video vigilante” provided Oklahoma City cops with footage (seen above) showing the duo appearing to have sex in the front seat of Blansett’s truck.

According to a probable cause affidavit, Brian Bates, the anti-prostitution avenger, followed Blansett’s Ford F-150 after he spotted Zolicoffer entering the vehicle. When the truck turned down a deserted road leading to a tire yard, Bates launched his drone from an adjacent street.

So, she didn't go to prison for public lewdness, but rather for the felony charges? The misdemeanor was just attached as an afterthought?

If it was the only charge and the others weren't already active, she wouldn't have gotten prison time?
I wish all states make prostitution legal......All levels prostitutes paid sessions/services.All definitions in adult biz mean prostitutes.....Prostitution is illegal business all states and websites promoting prostitution.
