Paterson police raid Main Street prostitution joint second time in two weeks
A Main Street prostitution joint was raided for a second time in two weeks on Friday, according to public safety director Jerry Speziale.
Felipe Valez, 44, of Paterson, operator of the alleged brothel at 401 Main Street, was arrested again on charges of promoting prostitution and maintaining a nuisance, police said. His alleged prostitution joint was previously raided last Tuesday. Valez was arrested and later released.
Police said Valez returned to running the brothel out of his second-floor apartment immediately after being released.
Three other people were arrested during Friday’s raid.
Miguel Juarez, 43, of Paterson, was also charged with promoting prostitution and maintaining a nuisance. He lives at 409 Main Street, police said.
Jeimy Lopez-Michicoj, 35, of Plainfield; Yurany Casanova, 33, of Paterson, were arrested. Both were charged with prostitution.
Detectives seized $5,379 in prostitution proceeds in the second raid, police said.
Police seized $353 from Valez, $25 from Juarez, $2,804 from Lopez-Michicoj, and $2,197 from Casanova.

‘Not one question:’ International travelers were not screened for coronavirus at O’Hare, woman says
MILWAUKEE — The coronavirus pandemic is prompting concern among travelers, especially those flying back from Europe.
Italian officials are reporting more cases — they saw a 20% increase from Friday to Saturday — bringing the case total to more than 21,000, the worst in Europe. So when UW-Milwaukee student Melissa Hambley flew home from Rome on Friday, March 13, she thought customs agents at the airport would show more concern. She says that didn’t happen.
Inside Rome’s major airport, Hambley could not believe the emptiness after authorities locked-down the country — just as she and her boyfriend arrived for spring break.
“As soon as we got there, we kind of realized the gravity of the situation, and our anxiety just kind of escalated every hour we were there,” Hambley said.
Normally-popular tourist attractions were largely clear and warning signs were posted all around the city. But it was her return trip back to the United States, particularly arriving at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, that worried her the most.
“Not one question was asked where we came from, if we felt ill, what to do if we did start feeling ill. I mean, no one’s temperature was being taken,” said Hambley.
Hambley said she expected all of that. She said, instead, U.S. Customs agents only asked how long she was gone, then stamped her passport — much to her surprise and concern.
“The customs agents weren’t even wearing gloves or masks or anything,” she said.
FOX6 News reached out to U.S. Customs and Border Protection for comment on the lack of screening. Despite the Italian lockdown and thousands of cases already reported there, a spokesman with the agency only switched to enhanced screening for incoming European flights at midnight Saturday, March 14 and will now look at history records, ask questions and observe the passengers to decide if they need immediate medical attention.
But for those who have already returned, like Hambley, the change may be too little too late.
“This is how it’s gonna spread. I mean, if nothing’s being done at the airport for international travelers, I mean obviously it’s going to keep spreading,” Hambley said.
Right now, Hambley said she feels fatigue from travel, but it’s showing any signs or symptoms of coronavirus. However, like health officials suggest, she is now taking part in a self-quarantine for two weeks just in case.
