In 2016, Canapp was one of 15 women arrested in a sting operation conducted by the Texas Department of Public Safety, Dallas police and U.S. Homeland Security. Officials charged her with aggravated promotion of prostitution, after they said she ran a brothel on Walnut Hill Lane in northwest Dallas.
