Bridgeport Police Make Prostitution Arrests

A West Haven man and woman are facing prostitution charges after Bridgeport police found them in a car with fogged-up windows on Sunday.

According to police, 47-year-old Darrell Baskin and 43-year-old Maria Rosa Franco were parked behind a business on Benham Avenue in Bridgeport on Sunday evening.
