Boise police arrest two in prostitution, robbery case

Published: February 21, 2013 

Kaylan Marie Rosa Speers and Fernando Jose Santos are being held in the Ada County Jail on felony robbery charges after Boise police say they were involved in the hold up of a man seeking “seeking illegal prostitution services” Thursday morning.

The report of the robbery, near the Red Lion Downtowner Hotel near 18th and Main Street, was called into Ada County dispatchers just after 3 a.m.

Boise police spokeswoman Lynn Hightower said earlier Thursday the robbery did not appear to be a random act.

Police released little other information about the case by Thursday afternoon but did confirm the 25-year-old Speers and 33-year-old Santos, both from Boise, went from "people of interest" to being charged with robbery around 11 a.m.

Police won't say how they suspect the duo robbed the man, what was taken from him, or if Speers or Santos used a weapon.

Police also won't say where the robbery occurred — whether it happened in car or on foot or in a room, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation.

Because the pair was booked into jail after 6 a.m. Thursday, they won't make their first court appearance until Friday afternoon.

The crime of robbery is punishable by up to life in prison, with a 5 year minimum sentence.
