A Chauvin man was arrested for simple robbery and soliciting for prostitutes Monday, Houma Police reported.
Officers responded to a call at 342 New Orleans Blvd. in Houma, according to a release. A 24-year-old woman told police that a man approached her asking for change for a $100 bill. As she went to give him change, he reached inside the window and grabbed the money out of her hand, police said.
Officers identified the man as Todd Breaux, 37, of 5115 Bayouside Drive. He told police he went inside the business at 342 New Orleans Blvd. and asked the clerk if she could break a $100 bill for his friend. According to reports, Breaux said his female friend took the money and left in a red Chevy pickup truck.
Officers learned Breaux was actually soliciting for prostitution, according to reports. He was charged on the two counts and transferred to the Terrebonne Parish Jail.
If convicted, Houma Police spokesman Lt. Todd Duplantis said Breaux could face up to seven years in prison with or without hard labor and a $3,000 fine.
