Christie Newlin, 45, of Waterford Michigan is free on personal bond after her arraignment in Farmington Hills and Troy district courts this week on prostitution and for using the Internet to solicit men charges.

Her husband is Deputy Randy Newlin. The Newlins have two children.
She has been soliciting on the Internet for 12 years. She said she needed the money for gambling debts and to pay for the kids going to college.

The Sheriff's department has been investigating after receiving an anonymous tip a few weeks ago.

According to Sheriff Michael Bouchard Newlin did have some knowledge of what his wife was doing. Bouchard said the Newlin was not involved in his wife's activities and has not been disciplined. It is being investigated though.

"He's been a solid performer for a long time," Bouchard said. "This has caused him a great deal of emotional trouble. It is my understanding they have a long marriage."

According to Bouchard Christie Newlin advertised on the Internet and met men in the afternoon in hotels.


Her trial date has not been set yet.
