( CNN ) -- A sign over the Java Juggs latte stand reads `` Some Like it Hot '' and features a seductive image of a silhouetted woman in high heels , a devilish tail and horns , and seemingly little else . Inside , authorities allege , customers got more than a sizzling beverage to kickstart their day . Eight people were arrested Tuesday in connection to latte stands in Washington state that , the Everett police department says , served as fronts for prostitution and lewd conduct . Those detained include the owner of seven stands in question , 51-year-old Carmela Panico , who state public records link to the Java Juggs establishments . Other records , including health inspection reports , indicate some stands targeted by police operated as Twin Peaks . Panico was arrested for conspiracy to promote prostitution and permitting prostitution , according to police . But she is hardly the only one in hot water . So , too , is Snohomish County Sheriff 's Office Sgt . Darrell O'Neill . The 30-year office veteran was arrested and booked Tuesday into Marysville Jail for conspiracy to promote prostitution and official misconduct , police said . It was no secret that the stands were offering more than just coffee . A post on Java Juggs ' Facebook page included -- in addition to pictures of women in lingerie -- an invitation for patrons to `` come and watch our girls dance on our new Stripper Pole . '' But having baristas work wearing scantily clad outfits is not illegal . Prostitution is another story . In October 2012 , authorities opened an investigation after getting complaints about alleged lewd conduct at a latte stand in Kent , which is about 20 miles south of Seattle . The probe -- Everett police Deputy Chief Dan Templeman told CNN affiliate KING that it included video and in-person surveillance -- eventually widened to include seven such stands tied to Panico and one residence . This law enforcement effort was n't helped by the Snohomish County sergeant who , a barista told detectives , tipped off workers about the undercover probe and `` engaged in inappropriate behavior while on the job , '' police said . O'Neill , 58 , has been placed on paid administrative leave and is the subject of an internal investigation , according to the Snohomish County Sheriff 's Office . CNN 's Chandler Friedman and Greg Morrison contributed to this report .
8 are arrested in relation to the shooting in Washington state . Those arrested include the owners of 7 stands and a sheriff 's sergeant . The stands had scantily clad baristas and names like Java Juggs , Twin Peaks .
