COLUMBUS, Ohio — Authorities released body camera footage showing the arrest of former Ohio State wrestler and Olympic gold medalist Kyle Snyder during a prostitution sting last week.

Columbus Division of Police Sgt. Joe Albert said the police division's Police and Community Together (PACT) unit conducted an undercover operation in the city's north side on May 9. The operation was aimed at reducing prostitution.

Officers began receiving text messages and phone calls from a man responding to one of the ads. A meeting was arranged at a nearby hotel, according to the department. About 20 minutes later, a man — later identified as Snyder — arrived at the hotel, paid an undercover officer cash and requested a sexual act, police say.
