RadioOnFire.com - A Virginia mayor will resign after being busted by cops in a sting operation for trying to trade crystal meth for sex.
R. Scott Silverthorne’s last day as mayor of Fairfax, Va., will be Thursday, officials said.
Investigators said they’d received a tip that Silverthorne used a dating website to set up sexual encounters with other men in exchange for drugs.
Cops set up a sting, creating a profile on the website meant to appeal to the lascivious mayor, officials said.
Last Thursday evening, police said, Silverthorne gave an undercover detective two grams of methamphetamine outside a Tysons Corner hotel before being arrested on a felony drug distribution charge.
Silverthorne was elected in May to a third term as mayor of the bedroom community of about 24,000 residents, 20 miles west of the nation's capital.
Silverthorne, who also worked as a substitute teacher in Fairfax County Public Schools, was fired from that job after his arrest.
