MARLBOROUGH – Robert Smith of Marlborough may have been better off calling the Better Business Bureau.

Smith, 32, was arrested Tuesday and charged with prostitution after police said he called them to complain that two people he paid for sex didn't deliver services advertised.

Jeanna Mercure, 22, of Manchester also was arrested on the same charge. Police said a third person is still under investigation.

Police said Smith called them Monday to say he paid $150 a day earlier to Mercure and another person in exchange for sex with Mercure.

He told police Mercure never lived up to her end of the bargain and he didn't get his money back.
