Dallas Police Senior Corporal Marqueon Skinner has had better days than June 30. That evening, Skinner contacted Ashley Hughes through a Craigslist advertisement, according to a written statement he would later give police. Hughes, who admitted to Arlington police that she's a prostitute, agreed to have oral sex with Skinner for $60.
Skinner, 35, headed to meet Hughes at an apartment. Hughes met Skinner in the parking lot and took him into the apartment. The duo went straight to the bedroom, according to Skinner, where they encountered another woman. That woman left, she said, to go get a condom. While she was gone, Skinner undressed and Hughes put a condom she'd found in the bedroom on Skinner — who'd taken his clothes off — according to both Skinner and Hughes.
Two men, accompanied by the woman initially in the bedroom, entered the apartment with a handgun and robbed Skinner. Hughes told police that'd she'd already begun performing oral sex on Skinner, something that Skinner didn't confirm. Skinner ran from the house naked and called the police to report the robbery.
When police checked out the apartment, they found multiple personal items of Skinner's, including his underwear, flip-flops, sunglasses, cell phone case, cell phone battery and his city of Dallas parking tag.
Skinner was charged with prostitution Wednesday. He turned himself in to Tarrant County Jail Wednesday afternoon and has been released on $500 bond. Skinner, who has been a member of DPD for almost 11 years, is on administrative leave pending criminal and administrative investigations.
