Citizens’ complaints led to three arrests at a possible brothel in Albertville.

Marshall County Safe Streets Task Force agents arrived Wednesday afternoon at Milner’s Mobile Home Park on Mathis Mill Road.

Upon arrival, agents detained several people who were stationed at the entrance of the trailer park and whose job it was to alert people in the alleged brothel of police activity.

They apparently were able to get a message back to the trailer that police were coming. Some people might have fled on foot.

Three people were in police custody immediately after the search. Erma Yareliz Sanchez, 26, of Nicaragua, was to be charged with prostitution. She was in the trailer at the time of the raid.

Two men – Marcos Antonio Bustillo, 25, of Honduras, and Santiago Borjas Linares, 30, of Albertville – were arrested and are expected to face third-degree charges of promoting prostitution.

Albertville police received four complaints last week and the FBI received one complaint about possible prostitution being run from the mobile home park.

Those led law enforcement to trailer No. 8 for the raid at about 2:35 p.m. Wednesday.

Officers from the Albertville, Boaz and Guntersville police departments, plus the county Drug Enforcement Unit and sheriff’s office, were involved.
