STROUDSBURG -- Police in the Poconos say a woman they arrested on prostitution charges taunted officers online and posted a phone number.

Police say Alyssa Ambrosino from Chambersburg posted ads on multiple websites. In one post she wrote, "...don’t bother even trying to call and set up a date. Save your gas money for doughnuts and leave me alone because flashing a badge isn't going to get you a discount."

Officers in Monroe County called the number, set up a sting, and arrested the woman on Monday.

According to investigators, an undercover officer set up a meeting with Ambrosino at a hotel in Stroudsburg. When the officer attempted to pay her and talk about sex, she said she was uncomfortable and asked to officer to leave. The officer believe she suspected he was a cop. A female undercover officer then went to the hotel room asking why her "husband" was just there. When Ambrosino invited that officer into the room, she found a container with marijuana on a nightstand and Ambrosino was arrested.

Officers said Ambrosino later confessed to being a prostitute and said she had been arrested for prostitution previously.
