On Thursday, Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers responded to a woman and her 4-year-old daughter who were reportedly being trafficked from Nevada to Arizona for prostitution on Interstate 40 near Kingman.
The victim was able to utilize the state’s Rapid SOS texting service to contact emergency services and give updates on their location, DPS said.
Troopers found the vehicle with the woman, her daughter and the trafficking suspect on I-40. After noticing authorities, DPS said the suspect got off I-40 and went into the parking lot of a Love’s Travel Stop.
The suspect was taken into custody at the gas station and booked on charges of sex trafficking and pandering.
