Sheriff Chad Chronister Tells MJ Some Of The Shocking Details Discovered During The Hillsborough County Prostitution Bust

We received a call from Sheriff Chad Chronister Friday morning. He was calling to share details about a four-month Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department operation.

Undercover detectives arrested 176 men who communicated with law enforcement (unbeknownst to the men) in an attempt to buy sex and/or solicit minors.

Some of the details were outrageous, including the fact that one of those arrested was a guy who had been on his honeymoon when he'd attempted to purchase sex.

These operations are so important because they identify people who are the "demand" part of the equation in sex trafficking. Sex trafficking is more prevalent here around our state and in our Tampa Bay area than many people may realize. It's a horrific thing for the victims being trafficked. Often times, the criminals who are trafficking young girls get trap the girls by getting them addicted to dangerous drugs.

When you start your day before the sun is up in the five o’clock hour, it always helps to have some coffee to get you going. MJ is a very strange bird in that he doesn’t need coffee to start his day. He’s a ball of chatty energy on his own. But I need both tea and coffee, and Fester has a splash of coffee with his 15 packets of sugar and 12 ounces of cream, and Froggy drinks coffee and sometimes energy drinks.

I, personally, enjoy drinking coffee on the weekends because that’s when I drink it out of a mug (at work, it’s out of a Styrofoam cup). Drinking coffee in a mug is a nice, relaxing ritual.

Froggy came up with his list of his favorite coffee mugs. Here are the “mug” shots and what he had to say about each.

The first mug is one I love because it has every single bird on it that has a name that sounds dirty, including the tufted titmouse, which is my favorite bird.

The second mug is one of my favorites because it was the first mug given to me by my kids on my first Father's Day.

The News Channel 8 mug means a lot because it was given to me live on the news and live on-air on the MJ Morning Show by the news anchor Avery Cotten, who is class personified. I applied to win a mug online and kept losing so they brought one to me.

And finally, my Rodfather mug made the list because it was given to me by Roxanne on mÿ birthday, supposedly because I love fishing and Godfather movies. And for some reason the coffee always tastes better in this mug.
