Senior Federal Judge Arrested For Drug-Fueled Escapade With Stripper

Senior U.S. District Judge Jack Camp was arrested last Friday for buying cocaine, marijuana and the painkiller roxycodone for himself and a stripper with whom he was engaging in a pay-to-play affair. He was also charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, which he brought with him to a meeting with an undercover FBI agent who he believed to be a drug dealer.

Who says the legislative branch gets to have all the fun? According to the AP, Judge Camp, the former chief judge for the northern district of Georgia, allegedly began his affair with the stripper last spring, in which he exchanged money for sex and also aided her in acquiring drugs. She has been given immunity for cooperating with the FBI and as such remains unidentified, though it is known she had a drug conviction on her record before encountering Camp. Given her record, Camp volunteered to buy the drugs for her. In his last encounter with the undercover agent posing as a drug dealer, he approached the scene unlawfully armed. He had assured his paramour before going that “I’ll watch your back anytime ’cause I’m afraid, and I not only have my little pistol, I’ve got my big pistol.”

According to the Justice Department, he has been released on $50,000 bail.
