RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. – Authorities in Russellville have carried out search warrants at three massage businesses in the city as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged illegal activity.
Russellville Mayor Fred Teague confirmed in a statement Thursday that police had executed the warrants at three Angel Massage locations. While the mayor did not specify the nature of the alleged illegal activity under investigation, he assured the public that there was no immediate threat to safety.
“These are active investigations, and we cannot release further details at this time,” said Mayor Teague. “The operation is still in its early stages, and additional information will be provided in the coming days.”
The mayor also emphasized that the community should not be concerned about any danger. A news conference is scheduled for Friday, where authorities are expected to disclose more information about the investigation.
At this time, it is unclear whether the search warrants were related to criminal activities such as human trafficking, fraud, or other offenses commonly linked to massage parlors under investigation. Local authorities are continuing to work on the case, and residents are urged to stay tuned for updates as the investigation progresses.
