The mayor of Fairfax, Va., a wealthy Washington suburb, was 
arrested on charges of distributing methamphetamines as part of 
an alleged "meth-for-sex" scheme, Fairfax County Police said 
Friday.

Mayor Richard "Scott" Silverthorne, 50, who is also a substitute 
teacher for Fairfax County public schools, was arrested Thursday 
after he allegedly provided meth to undercover officers who met 
him at a local hotel, police said.

Two others, identified as the mayor's alleged suppliers, Juan 
Jose Fernandez, 34, and Caustin Lee McLaughlin, 21, both of 
Maryland, were also arrested outside the hotel and charged with 
meth distribution, police said.

The mayor did not resist arrest and cooperated with officers, 
police said, but McLaughlin was subdued with a Taser after he 
"physically resisted" his arrest, police said.

Silverthorne, who is serving his third term as mayor, was 
charged with felony distribution of meth and misdemeanor 
possession of drug paraphernalia. Silverthorne's bio on the 
official Fairfax city website states he is "a champion for 
quality of life issues."

In January, Silverthorne told The Washington Post that “it’s 
been a terrible year for me,” referring to financial and medical 
issues, the newspaper reports.

The Post says Silverthorne was laid off in June from his job as 
a director of recruitment with the National Association of 
Manufacturers and that a bank foreclosed on his house.

Capt. Jack Hardin, commander of the organized crime and 
narcotics division, told reporters that the investigation into 
the case began three weeks ago after a citizen tipped police 
that the mayor was allegedly distributing meth through a website 
used to arrange for casual sex between men.

Hardin said Silverthorne allegedly responded about two days 
after an undercover detective created a profile on the site 
based on information as to "what the mayor was looking for, the 
type of person, and activities."

In an exchange of texts, Silverthorne then allegedly agreed to 
meet at a hotel in Virginia's Tysons Corner area allegedly to 
exchange meth for “a group sexual encounter,” police said. 
Police alleged that he had distributed meth in this manner on at 
least two other occasions.

As part of the sting, the undercover officer was supposed to 
have made arrangements for a room inside the hotel after the 
meth was turned over in the parking lot outside. Police said the 
alleged suppliers were running 20 minutes late and that 
Silverthorne allegedly got into a vehicle with the suppliers, 
then came back to the undercover officer and was arrested.

Police said a fourth man was questioned at the scene in 
connection with the case, but was not charged.

In 2009, Fairfax, a city of 23,500 people about 20 miles west of 
Washington, D.C., was ranked No. 3 by Forbes in an article on 
the "Top 25 Places to Live Well."
