The Paradise Valley businessman was caught in an operation carried out by the Phoenix Police Department. Police said Gilliland and others solicited sex from someone they thought was an underage girl, then drove to a local hotel where officers were waiting for them.

The other men arrested in this sting are Brandon Murillo, Jose Pacheco, Phillip Dominguez, Travis Russell, Rudy Burns, Sheldon Yazzie, and Anthony Meisner. They range in age from 27-years-old to 52-years-old.

9. The Sunflower chain seems to be doing well here in Denver

I do part of my shopping there every week. The employees are friendly and seem to be cheerful. That's just my subjective impression, of course, but it does make me feel good about shopping there. It would be a shame if this guy's behavior affects the company.
