WASHINGTON — The mayor of the City of Fairfax was arrested
Thursday for distribution of methamphetamine in an uncover
sting, which authorities say involves an offer to exchange drugs
for group sex.

Fairfax County police arrested Richard “Scott” Silverthorne, 50,
of Fairfax, Aug. 4 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Tysons Corner.
He and two other men, Silverthorne’s suppliers, were arrested
for distribution of meth.

Police said Silverthorne, who also served as a substitute
teacher for the Fairfax County Public Schools, provided two
grams of methamphetamine to undercover detectives. Silverstone
has since been terminated from the position he had held since
April 2016, said Fairfax County Schools spokesman John Torre.

Police started an investigation into a meth operation the week
of July 18, according to Maj. Ed O’Carroll, police spokesman.

“A suspect was identified who was allegedly distributing
methamphetamine through a website used to arrange for casual
sexual encounters between men,” a news release said.

Police said an undercover detective made contact with the
Democratic mayor after creating a profile on a website, which
police declined to name. The two then communicated via text
messaging.


“During the course of communication, the suspect advised that he
could provide methamphetamine for sexual encounters. Undercover
detectives agreed to meet the suspect for a group sexual
encounter in exchange for methamphetamine. The suspect arranged
to bring methamphetamine along with other men to the
engagement,” the release said.

Police said after Silverthorne provided the drugs, he was
arrested and charged with felony distribution of methamphetamine
and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

After Silverthorne’s arrest, councilmember Jeffrey Greenfield
was appointed acting mayor, and city spokesman Chris Fow Cohen
assured that “City operations will continue as usual.”

Greenfield said he would not comment on the case, and added
Silverthorne was a dedicated mayor.

“The City of Fairfax City Council appreciates Mr. Silverthorne’s
longstanding dedication to the community. He has served the City
of Fairfax as a Councilmember and Mayor for more than a quarter
of a century. The community has benefitted from his dedication
and his vision for making Fairfax an excellent place to live and
work,” Greenfield said in the statement.

‘We had an idea it was the mayor’

Capt. Jack Hardin, commander of the Organized Crime and
Narcotics Division of the Fairfax County Police Department, said
a citizen provided the department with information about the
drugs-for-sex operation.

“We had an idea it was the mayor,” Hardin said during a Friday
news conference.
