Hakeem Olajuwon did not get arrested in Nashville for promoting prostitution, despite what one Georgia man wanted police to believe.
Tyree Marlon Hines was arrested in Tennessee’s capital recently when undercover detectives responded to an ad on a prostitution website, according to an arrest affidavit acquired by WZTV in Nashville. A 26-year-old woman agreed to a 30-minute sex act in exchange for $60 at a nearby hotel, and after Hines walked by police outside the room, she received a text message that said, “police at the door, it’s a setup.”
But when police found Hines, he randomly told them his name was “Akem Olajuwon.”
Police found Hines’ Georgia ID, and he admitted he texted the woman about meeting up for sex. He’s now in jail in Nashville for promoting prostitution and giving police a false name.
The Houston Rockets legend had nothing to do with the crime, and we’re sure he doesn’t appreciate being used as an alias here.
