SPANISH FORT, Ala.
An update on the sex sting story in Spanish Fort that we brought to you first on Saturday, Police Chief Barber tells us that six people were arrested in the operation.
The Chief said that the sting occurred on Friday, March 6, 2026, and that charges were for engaging or participating in prostitution in two simultaneous operations that included eight agencies. As seventh person has pending charges.
According to police, that person, who has not been publicly identified, was injured while trying to avoid arrest.
As we have previously reported, the police operation was the culmination of a two-day law enforcement training led by Skull Games, a veteran-led nonprofit focused on human trafficking, along with The Little Tree Project, a victim’s advocacy group, and hosted by The Spanish Fort Police Department.
“The training allows us the ability to understand the most current trends, and it helps our officers understand how to target it,” Chief Barber said.
According to a Facebook post by The Little Tree Project, which also led a training with SFPD in October 2025, the group “provided intel support, survivor advocacy and equipped law enforcement leaders with practical tools for trafficking detection and response.” The third day of the training included Friday’s very real operations, taking what the agencies had learned the previous two days and putting it into practice.
Some of the work entailed researching sex ads online and looking for those being forced into the sex trade.
Barber said that he wouldn’t rule out similar operations in the future.
