Officials arrested the Mayor of Fairfax, Virginia after he was caught selling meth to an undercover detective in exchange for group sex with several men.

Mayor Richard “Scott” Silverthorne was arrested at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Virginia’s Tysons Corner on Thursday, following the bust.

Police say the mayor was charged with felony distribution of methamphetamine. He also has a misdemeanor for drug paraphernalia possession.

The re-elected mayor and substitute teacher for Fairfax County Public Schools did not resist arrest.

Fairfax County Captain Hack Hardin tells NBC News that Silverthorne gave a full confession on everything he did the night of his arrest.

Meanwhile, officers arrested the two suspects who may have provided Silverthorne with the drugs; 34-year-old Juan Jose Fernandez and 21-year-old Caustin McLaughlin.

Both of the suspects from Maryland were charged with felony distribution of methamphetamine. They were also charged with felony possession with the purpose of distributing the meth as well as misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

How the Mayor was Caught

Detectives with the Organized Crime and Narcotics division in Virginia received a tip about a meth ring when they heard of an online website used for “casual sex encounters between men.”

When they found out that the meth ring was orchestrated through the casual encounters website, the division began investigating Silverthorne because a citizen tipped them on his connection to it.

The detectives set up an account on the website and days later, the mayor reached out to the undercover cops through their fake profile account.

Police say the communication between them involved Silvethorne text messaging the cops, telling them that he will give them drugs in exchange for sex.

Silverthorne told the undercover cops that he will give them the meth and provide other men for them to sleep with. He then arranged a group sex meeting with them at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Thursday night.

At the night of the event, the mayor provided the undercover cops with 2 grams of meth before they arrested him.

The mayor was serving his third term as one of the best leaders in Fairfax. He was known as “a champion for quality of life issues,” and was dealing with a lot of life issues himself.

In June, he was laid off from his job as a director of recruitment with the National Association of Manufacturers. A bank also foreclosed on his house.

Fairfax was listed in Forbes’ “Top 25 Places to Live Well” back in 2009 as No. 3.
