An 18-year-old male with no local address was arrested at 12:15 a.m. Sunday at 2310 Kuhio Ave., the address of the Waikiki Marketplace. Edison Menke was charged with , a petty misdemeanor.

Police made no prostitution-related arrests as of 11 a.m. Sunday, according to the Honolulu Police Department‘s arrests log. It marks the eleventh day since a prostitution-related arrest was made.

The lack of arrests contrasts with the volume police handled in the weeks leading up to APEC. Officers averaged six prostitution-related arrests in the four weeks preceding APEC.

Civil Beat has been tracking prostitution-related arrest in Honolulu since July 2010 and has its own database of arrests. The department does not provide such data.

Previously, the longest period without a prostitution-related arrest was the 13 days between Sept. 6 and 20, 2011, according to Civil Beat’s records. There was also a 12-day lull in arrests between March 10 and 23, 2011.

An attempt to reach a police spokeswoman Sunday was unsuccessful.
