This senior citizen popped for solicitation used to be an upstate police chief. One article said he was nabbed at 5:20 p.m., so I am guessing there is an "early bird" special that applies? LOL.

Ex-chief, 81, charged with solicitation

EASTON - A former eastern Pennsylvania police chief is facing a charge of soliciting a prostitute.

Authorities say former Palmer Township police chief Nick DiVietro was one of four men arrested in an undercover sting Friday in Easton.

Police say the 81-year-old former chief offered $20 to an undercover female police officer.

DiVietro was police chief for 28 years. He was hired as the safety and welfare officer for the Easton Area School District in 1991.

Easton's new get-tough law on prostitution, which lets police seize the cars of accused johns, snared an 81-year-old former Palmer Township police chief and four other men Friday.

Nick DiVietro, Palmer's chief for 28 years and later an Easton Area High School hall monitor, was nabbed downtown in a weekend sting under an ordinance that took effect almost three weeks ago. It's intended to scare away anyone cruising for a prostitute in the city.

According to court documents, a female police officer posed as a prostitute in the 300 block of Church Street.

DiVietro, who retired as Palmer chief in 1990, was nabbed about 4 p.m. after he offered the woman $20 for oral sex, the court documents say.

Over the next 21/2 hours, police said, the other men made the same request and were also charged with soliciting prostitution, a third-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in prison and a $2,500 fine.

''I want everyone to know that we're on the prowl,'' Easton Mayor Sal Panto Jr. said, indicating that Friday was not the only day of the sting operation. ''Our motto is 'Clean and Safe,' and that's exactly what we're going to do.''

EASTON | An 81-year-old former Palmer Township police chief was among four men charged in a prostitution sting in Downtown Easton earlier this month, police said Tuesday.

Nick J. DiVietro, who headed the township police force for 28 years before retiring in 1990, was charged by summons with patronizing a prostitute, a misdemeanor.

He was cited about 5:20 p.m. Aug. 15 in the 300 block of Church Street, police said.

DiVietro, of the 3800 block of Farmersville Road in Palmer, allegedly approached an undercover police officer in his car and offered her $20 for oral sex, court records say.

Sheesh, mebbe he shoulda just gone to Kobe instead?
