Confusing encounter...

A man was arrested in Cleveland Heights on Feb. 3 after propositioning his masseuse to have sex with him. 

He paid her $60 and gave her his identification before the massage was to begin, according to Cleveland Heights police.

She then left the massage room. When she came back, Williams was naked and asked her to put a condom on him.

She turned down the invite and refused an extra $60 Williams offered her, police said.

Williams dressed and fled, leaving behind his identification. The massage therapist called the Cleveland Heights Police Department and officers found Williams at a nearby intersection.

Officers arrested Williams and charged him with soliciting prostitution and misidentification. He also had two outstanding warrants for failing to appear in court.
