A police captain in Seattle was among the five men arrested this week in a prostitution sting, reports say.
Capt. Randal Woolery, a member of the Seattle Police Department for 31 years, was placed on administrative leave following his arrest Wednesday in north Seattle, KING-TV reported.
The station reported not being able to reach Woolery for comment. An email Saturday seeking comment from Fox News wasn't immediately returned.
