Police department carries out a nine-month undercover investigation, which ends when owner Carmela Panico and three employees at Java Juggs Espresso—the coffee stand's slogan is "Some Like It Hot"—are charged with prostitution and exposure.

After a ninth-month undercover investigation, the Edmonds Police Department has arrested the owner of an Edmonds espresso stand on three counts of prostitution and one count of permitting prostitution. Three employees were also arrested.
The arrest at Java Juggs Espresso, located on the corner of Highway 99 and 212th Street Southwest, involved officers posing as customers and collecting video as evidence, said Sgt. Don Anderson of the Edmonds Police Department.

Most of the violations involved employees exposing themselves to customers for large tips. Some of the violations involved physical contact with a barista in exchange for money.
