Not getting the bang for your buck.

Prosecutor Mugged After Calling Escort Service
An assistant state attorney general was hit with pepper spray and mugged after he called an escort service to a hotel, police said.

Assistant Attorney General John Rimes was beaten and robbed of about $500 on Thursday while staying at the Hilton Tampa Airport Westshore, according to a Tampa police report released Monday.

Rimes, 54, was treated at St. Joseph's Hospital until Sunday, hospital officials said.

The police report states that two women arrived at Rimes' hotel room late Thursday after he called an escort service for female companionship.

Police said Rimes had $200, but the women told him he needed more. He went to an ATM and withdrew $300.

After Rimes returned, someone knocked on his hotel room door. Rimes saw a well-dressed man through the peephole and opened the door, police said.

That's when the man used pepper spray on Rimes, beat him and took the money, police said. The women left, and guests who were affected by the spray called security, the report said.

I guess he never saw the movie Risky Business. First off, escort service? If you are that hard up, $20 on Phillips Hwy will get your some service. Secondly, if you agree on a price, and they ask for more, chances are you aren't leaving a satisfied customer. Third, a guy comes to the door and you open it? Use the peephole! Ah well, three strikes and you're out. Sweet irony would have been if the police would have arrested him for calling the escort service to begin with.
