Nope, it isn't Barack Hussein Obama, but it is a Democrat, surprise surprise.
NASSAU COUNTY, FL -- A former political and community leader was arrested after an undercover sex sting.
Former Nassau County Commission candidate Keith Sawyer was arrested and booked in jail late Friday evening.
Sawyer had once served on the Executive Committee for the county's Democratic National Party. Bernita Dinwiddie, a chairperson for the DEC, told First Coast News Sawyer hasn't been a member as of January.
Deputies received a tip from someone, saying Sawyer was interested in having sex with an underage girl.
"The sheriff's office used the informant and made a recorded phone call to Sawyer at which time Sawyer did agree to provide drugs and money in exchange for sex with a 15-year-old girl," Assistant Chief Hank Martinez told First Coast News.
Deputies arrested Sawyer Friday when he showed up a Comfort Inn in Yulee. They say he came expecting to meet a 15-year-old girl and her friend for sex. At the time of his arrest, deputies say Sawyer had several hundred dollars in cash but no drugs.
"It is very shocking to me in Nassau County that we would have a politician act this way," Martinez said.
First Coast News spoke to Sawyer's ex-wife, who didn't want us to use her name. She said she is humiliated because they have two children together. Sawyer's son and daughter are both in their twenties.
"I never would have expected this," Sawyer's ex-wife said. "I believe it's true."
Sawyer posted $50,000 bail Saturday morning. He is expected in court September 20. He is charged with solicitation of a minor, lewd and lascivious battery and lewd and lascivious conduct.
