Salisbury Police charged two people with prostitution after they received a call about trespassing in an abandoned house.

Thursday, police received a call about a possible trespassing at a vacant house at the 500 block of East Lafayette Street. The caller reported that there were two females in the house and suspected them of drug usage, according to the report.

When police arrived, they saw Juanita McKinney Ordonez, 42, walk out the back door. Officers asked her if there was anyone in the house. According to the report, she told them “a black guy” was still inside.

Police called the man to come out but received no response. A K-9 unit was sent in and police began a search of the house. According to the report, they asked for anyone inside to identify themselves, and reported that someone yelled, “I’m here!”
