Georgia police chief accused of soliciting sex

By The Associated Press
MOLENA, Ga. (AP) Authorities have arrested the police chief of a small west Georgia city who is accused of soliciting young men for sex. <br /> <br /> The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says agents on Wednesday arrested Chief James Roberts, who's also the mayor of Concord, after investigating him for a month and a half. It was not immediately clear whether he had a lawyer. <br /> <br /> The GBI says Roberts used his position as chief to gain the trust of the young men. <br /> <br /> The GBI began investigating after a relative of an alleged victim contacted the Pike County Sheriff's Office. <br /> <br /> Authorities say Roberts also gave a code to one of them so the young man could get county gas for his personal vehicle. <br /> <br /> Roberts faces two counts of solicitation of sodomy and one count of theft by conversion.
