The mayor of Fairfax City, Virginia, was arrested early Friday after
police say he tried to give methamphetamine to undercover detectives in
exchange for sex.
Mayor Richard "Scott" Silverthorne, 50, was
nabbed in the parking lot of a Crowne Plaza Hotel as part of a sting
operation, the Fairfax County Police Department said in a news release. He was charged with felony distribution of methamphetamine and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.
The operation began in late July, when the
department's Organized Crime and Narcotics Division received a tip about
a meth distributor.
The suspect — later identified as Silverthorne —
was allegedly distributing meth through a website used to arrange
casual sex between men, Fairfax County Capt. Jack Hardin said at a news
conference. He declined to name the site.
