I wonder if the Reddit rumor had dates wrong. The Tarrant County Daily Booked Reports show 27 booked on 6/6 & 5 more on 6/7. (For accuracy, understand that the Report comes out the day after the Arrest. So the 27 Booked In on 6/6 are listed in the Booking Report from 6/7. 6/7 Arrests are found in the Report from the following day of 6/8.)
So the Reddit rumor dates are possibly off, but 27 in one day is a pretty good haul that didn't even make the news. From 6/6 to 6/12, there's a total of 53 Solicitation arrests. Hmmmm.....
It's easy to get search results for the 14 in Lewisville, but I get zero hits about Ft Worth in June. (There were 21 arrested on March 15 in Ft Worth on a sting, but I see nothing in the news about June arrests.)
Thanks Sir Lance, for starting the Lewisville Thread, to segregate the two different topics.

I wish more local governments would do that!
Last year when I was checking jail records more frequently it seemed TC and/or APD was found a sweep every few months that would net ~30 arrests over a few day period. I’ve not checked frequently enough to see if they are keeping up the pace this year, but the reason you may not be seeing any press on the June arrests is because it’s just another day at the office for them.
If done in connection what a larger operation that yields a haul in the triple digits? Then you have something newsworthy!
