Greg ‘Fossilman’ Raymer was arrested last night in a prostitution bust at a North Carolina hotel. TMZ had initially reported that the bust involved a male prostitute, but new reports have surfaced that state the prostitutes were in fact female. Raymer just couldn’t order the hooker correctly.

According to WTVD-ABC 11:

Gregory Paul Raymer, 48, was one of six men who responded to an advertisement posted by undercover police on a popular website men often seek out female prostitutes. The men face misdemeanor charges of prostitution and attempted crimes against nature.
